Remove <p>, </p> and everything between ?

Hello,
This code seems to remove almost everything between the <p> and </p> tag but not inner tags within the p-tags. A lesser problem is that it does not remove the <p> tags themselves.

$output = preg_replace('#(<p[^>]*>).*?(</p>)#', '$1$2', $output)

Code (markup):

I need a snippet of code that will remove everything including the <p>,</p> tags and also remove all inner tags.

 

its easy
use striptag

 

Scripts_man, I ran across striptag as I was googling: http://php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php

If I understand correctly, I have to specify every possible tag I would want to keep,,, not the one I want to get rid of. This is directly from the page:

// Allow <p> and <a>
echo strip_tags($text, '<p><a>');

PHP:

The above example will output:
<p>Test paragraph.</p> <a href="#fragment">Other text</a>

 

you know
you can use the jquery
in that
js i mean

 

This does what you have asked for above.

<?php
$str = '<p> hello <b>world</b></p><br />this is a test';
$f=preg_replace("/<p>(.*)<\/p>/", "", $str);
print $f;
?>

PHP:

OUTPUT: <br />this is a test

 

Your old code:

$output = preg_replace('#(<p[^>]*>).*?(</p>)#', '$1$2', $output)

Code (markup):

You need to backslash closing tags : like <\/p>
Try this, it should remove everything between and including the p tags replacing with your $1$2 variables

$output = preg_replace('#<p[^>]*>(.*)<\/p>#', '$1$2', $output);

Code (markup):

 

Is it really necessary for you to repeat answers already given ?
