Help removing html tags

Dears

I need a function to remove html tags from a string , ex :

Original code :
<html>
<body>
<a href="http://yahoo.com"> Yahoo! </a> <br>
<a href="http://amazon.com"> Amazon! </a> <br>
<a href="http://hotmail.com"> Hotmail! </a> <br>
</body>
</html>

It will be :
http://yahoo.com
http://amazon.com
http://hotmail.com

Please help 🙂

You look at [man]strip_tags[/man]? Though to just pull the links, you'll probably need a regex, which you can find from searching the forums.

LordShryku

strip_tags is it.

Lord...
how do u use strip_tags?

do you just type in: strip_tags;?

LordShryku

$string = "<b>I</b> <i>want</i> <u>to</u> <p>remove</p> <div>these</div> <span>tags</span>";

$stripped = strip_tags($string);
echo $stripped;

Thanks LordShryku
Btw , How can i get the href's only and delete all tags , ex :

$string = "<a href=gg.com>Click here</a> <b>I</b> <i>want</i> <u>to</u> <p>remove</p> <div>these</div> <span>tags</span>"; 

$stripped = strip_tags($string); 
echo $stripped;

the result will be :

gg.com

only 🙂

See LordShryku's original reply, which suggests you look through the forums. You are by no means the first person to wonder how to get all the href= attributes of all the <a> tags in a piece of text. All the keywords you need are href regex.

<?php
preg_match('/<a\s?href\s?=\s?(["\'])([^\1]+)[\1]>',$string.$matches);
$href=$matches[2];
?>

Parse error: parse error in c:\apache\htdocs\test.php on line 2

preg_match('/<as?hrefs?=s?(["'])([^1]+)[1]>',$string.$matches);

:rolleyes:

There are two errors in it (one wasn't my fault, the forum messes it up) but I'm not going to tell you what they are. They are both very simple and very obvious. Try actually reading the code I've given you. If you still can't get them both (may not help you with the second error) read the php manual reference on preg_match which can be found at www.php.net

I don't know why I bother, sometimes. All that lovely code, all those detailed explanations about how it works, all those tips for modifying it....

I was agreeing with you, in fact, but I couldn't find a nodding smiley.

Oh suck it up :p In school did the teachers just tell you the answers? No, you had to figure alteast some stuff out on your own. 😉

You know PHP somewhat right? Have you even looked at the code and tried finding out what's wrong with it?
preg_match('/<as?hrefs?=s?(["'])([^1]+)[1]>',$string.$matches);
You don't see anything wrong with that? Compare it to the examples here: http://www.php.net/preg_match and see if you can't figure it out. 🙂 You'll need to learn how to debug stuff like this if you plan on doing anything in PHP.
