how to strip the options value and innerhtml

how do I strip the options value and innerHTML?
Well...since it's an old html code there is no </option>.

			<option value="BJ">Benin

			<option value="BM">Bermuda

			<option value="BT">Bhutan

Code (markup):

I want to strip them so I can place them in a database table.

 

explode() with "<option value=\"" and then with "\">"

 

addslashes() function and str_replace("\n\r",'',$str);

 

you may also use str_pos() and substr()

 

I hope you know php programming as well because all the solutions above are in php

 

why would he ask this in here if he didn't know php?

and what does addslashes have to do with this in any way possible?

Also, what does removing newlines help?

In conclusion, everything sastro said is bullshit

 

Use preg_match_all("/<option value=\"([A-Z]{2})\">(.+)/")
