need help removing <ul> from this string

Hi

I have a sidebar in Wordpress with the following

<h3>Links</h3>
<?php $pages = wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&echo=0');
$pages = preg_replace('%<a ([^>]+)>%U','<a $1>', $pages);
$pages = str_replace('</a>','</a>', $pages);
echo $pages; ?>

PHP:

The problem is that this produces HTML like

<div class="about-all"><div class="about"><div class="about-body">
<h3>Links</h3>
<li class="page_item page-item-2"><a href="http://blah.com" title="About">About</a></li>

<li class="page_item page-item-372"><a href="http://blah.com" >Audio Class </a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-309"><a href="blah.com" >Video Classes 1</a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-355"><a href="blah.com" >Video Classes 2</a></li>
</div>

PHP:

I do not want bullets.. I just want <br> separators.

Any idea how to do this?

 

You could add the line:

$pages = preg_replace("/<(\/)?li(.*)>,"", $pages);


Try it!

 

Should be someting more like this:
$pages = preg_replace("/<(\/)?li(.*)>/U","", $pages);

You had bad syntax and the above would be greedy and go all the way until the last > mark.

In order to add the line breaks... change the full code to:

<h3>Links</h3>
<?php $pages = wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&echo=0');
$pages = preg_replace('%<a ([^>]+)>%U','<a $1>', $pages);
$pages = str_replace('</a>','</a><br />', $pages);
$pages = preg_replace("/<(\/)?li(.*)>/U","", $pages);
echo $pages; ?>

PHP:

May I ask what the point of $pages = str_replace('</a>','</a>', $pages); was in your code? I changed it to add the line break.

 

thanks... I accidentally left the
$pages = str_replace('</a>','</a>', $pages);
in...

Thanks guys!
