Hi, I was wondering how I could search a string for multiple <b> tags, and replace it with one.

EDIT: Thanks in advance

$newVar = ereg_replace("<b>","<i>",$oldVar);
echo $newVar;

This searches for any <b> and replaces it with <i>.

No need to use regex, if all they are doing is a simple replace, str_replace will be faster...

No, I want only one <b> tag if there is more than one in a string...

ex: <b><b><b> -> <b>
<b><b> -> <b>
ETC.

So I want to know if it's possible to remove multiple tags, so there is only one left.

$newVar = ereg_replace("(<[bB]>)+","<b>",$oldVar);
echo $newVar;
