    I am new to php and am trying to write a program. I need help with converting strings. Could some please help me write a function to turn this type of code:

    <span class="navigation_end"><a href="/5-computers">Computers</a> > <a href="/6-bluetooth-adaptor">Bluetooth Adapter</a> > </span>

    in to this:
    Computers > Bluetooth Adapter

    I have the pusado/java code for it but i need someone to translate it to php

    publie String toText(String html){
    boolean a = false; boolean b = false;
    string toRet;
    while (html.length() != 0){
    if (!a) {
    if(next two chars of html != "<a")
    delete them;
    else
    a = ture;
    }
    else
    {
    if(next two chars of html = "</")
    add ">" to toRet;
    a = true;
    else
    add char to toRet;
    }
    return toRet;
    }

    function string_to_text($string){
preg_match_all("/\<a(.*)\>(.*)\<\/a\>/iU", $string, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
foreach($matches as $match){
$res .= "{$match[2]} &gt; ";
}
return substr($res,0,strlen($res)-6);
}

$new_var = string_to_text($links);
