    Hi,

    I'm stuck with this problem (am not too familiar with reg exp).....

    I have to find every href that is not ‘http://www.site1.com/ and remove the href link, but retain the link text.(Example : “<a href="http://www2.comune.roma.it/museociviltaromana/" class="external autonumber" title= "http://www2.comune.roma.it/museociviltaromana/"> humanoid </a>” replace with “ humanoid ”.

    Does anyone know the appropriate regular expression to do that.....?

    Thank you.

    Try this
    
$text = '<a href="http://www2.comune.roma.it/museociviltaromana/" class="external autonumber" title= "http://www2.comune.roma.it/museociviltaromana/"> humanoid </a>';

$patterns[0] = '/<a(.*?)>/si';
$patterns[1] = '/<\/a>/si';
$replacements[0] = '';
$replacements[1] = '';
echo preg_replace($patterns, $replacements, $text);

    Thnx a lot.....Now, I have to remove all the links that's not 'http://www.site1.com/' from a text file. I'll try to tweak the regex to get it working. :)
