You should be able to us the following

$str = '<font face="sans-serif" color="#0f0f0f" size="3">';
preg_replace('/<font[.]*>/', '<font size="1">', $str)

What this will do is replace all tags regardless of the attributes they have with

poe

i have:

$str = '';
$result = preg_replace('/<font[.]*>/', '', $str);

echo $result;

i still end up with:

Try

/<font[^>]*>/i

- and I hope you're planning to replace with CSS as well so that you don't have to do this sort of thing next time you want to change the page's style 🙂.
