[SOLVED] Regular Expressions question

[pauleth]

Hey folks, I am trying to write a regular expression that will remove any html formating from a body of text and just leave the text in place. 

 

For example:

 

<p><img src="img.jpg" alt="">This is the text that I want.</p>

 

Will become,

 

This is the text that I want.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can accomplish this with regular expressions?  I figure that I need to write an expression with ereg_replace() that removes the html brackets, '<' and '>', and also removes any text between the brackets...  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

strip_tags does exactly that...use that

 

otherwise if you want more control...use kses (kses kills evil scripts)

 

ask google, kses has good documentation and is really easy to use.

<?php
$code = "<p><img src='img.jpg' alt=''>This is te text that I want.</p>";
$stripped = strip_tags($code);
print $stripped;
?>
