How to cut a group of words from a string

Hello,

how to cut a certain group of words in a string, for example, "<img src='images/smiles/grin.gif</a>" from a reply. I am new to PHP, please help. Thanks very much in advance.

 

str_replace("(text to be removed without parenthesis)","","(original text without paranthesis)");

 

Wow! You are on line? Thank you for this promt reply, but the other problem is that the everytime last words are all different, because they are dynamic, like:

<img src='images/smiles/grin.gif</a>
<img src='images/smiles/shy.gif</a>
<img src='images/smiles/rose.gif</a>
<img src='images/smiles/laugh.gif</a>
<img src='images/smiles/smoking.gif</a>

but really really thank you for the help so far!

 

try this, just change $subject to the string you are using:

 

Wow!!! That's impressive!!! Thank you, mallorcahp, very much for your help!

 

Hi mallorcahp, I just realized that the replacing string is much longer than I found , they are something like：
"<img src='images/smiles/grin.gif' smilietext=':grin:' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt=':grin:' title=':grin:' />"
so it is very likely for me to make mistakes with a "/" or "\" more or less.... so logically, is it a better way to search for all what is inside the <img ... /> tag (including numbers) and replace them?
I will write: $pattern="/<img [a-zA-Z][0-9]>\/>/", is it correct? Thank you for your help.

 

This will kill all images in the message i think you want it

<?php
$message = "Your message";
$messagewithoutquotes=cleanQuotes($message);
function cleanQuotes($message){
$begin=strstr($message,'<img');
$rest=strstr($begin,'/>');
$interested=str_replace($rest,"",$begin);
if(eregi("<img",$interested):
cleanQuotes($interested);
endif;
return $interested
}
?>
