Remove Links from source

Hallo!

I have the following problem.I need to delete links and text in them.

for example

<a href=""> some text </ a>

PHP:

must remove it from the source.

No only "some text", but all <a .. > ... </a>

str_replace or maybe some ReGex

Any Idea?

Thanx!

 

You can use something like this:

$buffer=preg_replace("/<a.*>/i","",$buffer);

 

try this:

$pattern="/^(.*)<a.*>(.*)</a>(.*)$/iU";
$string="text with links";
while (preg_match($pattern,$string,$matches))
{
$string=$matches[1].$matches[3]; # $matches[2] contains the linktext
}
print $string; #now without links

Code (markup):

a loop that match one link and rebuild the Text without that link...
