string parse question

[GSMACK74]

I got a peice of text returning from a database in this format:

 

<tag>some dynamic text that changes</tag> followed by some other dynamic text.

 

I'd like to remove everything within the tags returning only the text after the closing tag.

 

any ideas?

Regular Expressions?

 

<?php

$str = "<tag>some dynamic text that changes</tag> followed by some other dynamic text.";
$str = preg_replace("#<.*?>(.*?)<\/.*?>#", "", $str);

echo $str;

?>

Either strip_tags() or:

'/<([a-z]+)\b[^>]*>(.*?)<\/\\1>/i'

As your regex.
