Finding links only with regex

[Astor]

Is it possible to remove links in a html string only with regex?

Example: <a href="http://www.site.com/"><img src="symbol.gif">Click Here</a> to be replaced with ""?

Only with regex, no strpos & substr..

[bubblenut]

preg_replace('/<a\shref=".*?".*?>.*?</a>/','',$string);

Not a very efficient regex but it should do the trick.
