remove (some) tags

[pedroz]

In the following HTML content

<a href="www.google.com">Google</a>
blah blah blah...
<a href="www.bing.com"><img src="a.gif></a>

How can I remove image links only?
Need to keep others links...

Any ideas? Thanks.

do you mean you want to remove the <a> tag of the link as well as the <img> tag?

Maybe this:

$str = '<a href="www.google.com">Google</a>
blah blah blah...
<a href="www.bing.com"><img src="a.gif></a>
';

$pattern = '/<a[^>]+><img[^>]+><\/a>/i';
$output = preg_replace($pattern, '', $str);
echo $output;

Thanks... But I need to keep the <img> tag, your code is deleting everything.

$pattern = '/<a[^{>]+><img[>]+><\/a>/i';}
$output = preg_replace($pattern, '', $str);
echo $output;

Assuming you do not run into strings like

<a ...>text and <img ...></a>

$p = '#<a[^>]*?>(<img[^>]*?>)</a>#';
$out = preg_replace($p, '$1', $str);

Try johana's code, that should work.
