linked text to normal [function?]

I have problem. I want to something like that;

<a href="abc.com">abc</a>

to convert this;

abc



linked text to unlinked text.

something like that, so can somebody help to me about this topic? Who can write a function for me?

thanks all.

 

$text = preg_replace('~<a[^>]+>(.*?)</a>~si', '$1', $text);

PHP:

 

strip_tags()

Code (markup):

 

strip_tags() removes ALL tags, and not only the <a> tags.
