oh yeah, used the preg_replace()

Remade the your script and use the filter version and modified it a bit and added the class="g" & id="mbb And it worked like a charm, now I get the same result as your script instead I just do it one one line of code Couldn't have done it without your regexp thou, as that was the part that made it work.

Nice! Thanks alot! Worked like a charm

kk, There's a list of <li> tags Some of the <li> tags has class, some of it has CLASS AND ID <li class="g"></li> <li class="g"><li> <li class="g" id="mbb50"></li> <li class="g"></li> <li class="g"></li> I want to get all the <li> elements with ONLY a class, NOT an ID.

That'll only strip non allowed tags. I wish to only remove the tags with certain ID's & Class, Which I don't think strip_tags can do..

Hey, I'm doing a thing for work, and I need to strip out a <li> tag from a source, The li tag looks like this: <li class="g" id="mbbDD">CONTENT HERE WITH TAGS NEWLINES ETC</li> Where the DD in ID is random Numbers so any numbers should do. <li class="g c35"> <h3 class="r"> <a href="http://www.massagestockholm.net/" class="l"><em>Massage Stockholm</em></a> </h3> <div class="s"> <em>Massage Stockholm</em> - Hitta och boka alla typer av massage i Stockholm.
