Hi,
Say I have some text.

$text = 'You can logon here: <a href="http://website.com/shop/
index.php?username='.$username.'">http://website.com/shop/index.php?
username='.$username.'</a>. This link will take you to your web
browser to login.'.$eol;

I want to be able to strip the "<a href="http://website.com/shop/
index.php?username='.$username.'">" and </a>.
Leaving just the http://website.com/shop/index.php?username='.
$username.' text, so it would end up like.


$text = 'You can logon here: http://website.com/shop/index.php?
username='.$username.'. This link will take you to your web browser
to login.'.$eol;

I have tried MANY different ways and have no success.
Can anyone help me?
TIA

strip_tags() will do the job here.

Hi Ash,
I tried that, but it did not work.
I do not want it to strip all tags, just the <a href=""></a>. so if
there was a <p> or <br />. I don't want those removed.
There is more text than just what I posted.

This is what I am trying currently.
This is someones code from a forum that I am trying to adopt.

//CODE start
function strip_only($str, $tags) { // Thanks Steve
if(!is_array($tags)) {
$tags = (strpos($str, '>') !== false ? explode('>',
str_replace('<', '', $tags)) : array($tags));
if(end($tags) == '') array_pop($tags);
}
foreach($tags as $tag) $str = preg_replace('#</?'.$tag.'[^>]
*>#is', '', $str);
return $str;
}

$str = '<p style="text-align:center">Paragraph</p><strong>Bold</
strong><br/><span style="color:red">Red</span><h1>Header</h1>';

echo strip_only($str, array('p', 'h1'));
echo strip_only($str, '<p><h1>');

//CODE end

I was using it like so.

$text = strip_only($text, array('a'));
or
$text = strip_only($text, '<a>');

But got my results back like:
'You can logon here: href="http://website.com/shop/
index.php?username='.$username.'">http://website.com/shop/index.php?
username='.$username.'. This link will take you to your web
browser to login.'.$eol;
uugh..

Hi Josh,

Safe? Not sure what you mean.
The text is for an email that is originally done in html code,
that when sent, checks to see if the recipiant can get html emails.
if not the text version is sent, but I want to remove any <a href""></
a> tags before sending.

This is how it starts:
$text = 'You can logon here: <a href="http://website.com/shop/
index.php?username='.$username.'">http://website.com/shop/index.php?
username='.$username.'</a>. This link will take you to your web
browser to login.'.$eol;
This is how I want it if they dont get the thml version
$text = 'You can logon here: http://website.com/shop/index.php?
username='.$username.'. This link will take you to your web browser
to login.'.$eol;

Hope that clarifies
Best,

Look at the second argument to strip_tags() which allows you to specify
a list of allowable tags. It will do what you want, you just need to
look at the manual.
