If you are trying to lose html from input, there is a function for doing this.

$input = strip_tag($input);

otherwise, you may want to split the input into an array with explode(), then changing everthing inside the <> and put it all back together with implode().

Hi,

string ereg_replace (string pattern, string replacement, string string)

The function ereg_replace replaces a regular expression,ie, it scans a string for matches to a pattern then replaces the matched text with the replacement. I'll explain this with an example:

Suppose u want to change "I had a good time" to "We had a good time" we can do it like this-
$string = "I had a good time";
echo ereg_replace ("I", "We", $string);
This will print "We had a good time".

Coming to ur question if suppose u want to replace everything between 2 tags u can do it like this:

$string = ereg_replace("<p>(.*)</p>", "", $string);
This will replace all the text between the <p> tags with an empty string. I hope this solves ur problem.

Thanks,
Mandy.

<?

$txt = " Lion <bla bla bla> eats <hello world> rabbit !!";

$result = ereg_replace("<[^{>]*>","",$txt);}

print $txt;

?>

This is more reg expression exercise to observe ...

<?
$url =
"http://www.al-e_x.com/wh_at.php?what=2123123123<BR>
ftp://www.al-e_x.com/wh_at.php?what=2123123123<I>
mailto://alex@what_who_where-xyz.com";

$url = eregi_replace(
"((http|mailto|ftp):\/\/[^{[:space:]<>]{1,})",}
"<a href='\1'>\1</a>",$url);

print $url;
?>

If you do template programming, and want to change http://www.xyz.com to <a href='http://www.xyz.com'>http://www.xyz.com</a> automatically, this will be the code ...
