[SOLVED] Yet another Regex request...

[Atomic Taco]

I'm looking for some Regex that'll take something like this:

<br><a href="test.gif">link</a><br><p>Some more text here</p>

 

And return something like this:

<br><a href="test.gif"></a><br><p></p>

How specific is your search and replace?  Is it just replacing the text between tags with empty string?  Please explain.

Yes, just replace the text between > and < with empty string.  But the input is going to have many nested tags, and there will already be an empty string between some > and <.

$str = '<br><a href="test.gif">link</a><br><p>Some more text here</p>';
$arr = preg_split('#(<[^>]+>)#', $str, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
foreach($arr as $val){
   if(!empty($val) && strpbrk($val, '<')){
      $newStr .= $val;
   }
}
echo $newStr;

 

Ouput:

<br><a href="test.gif"></a><br><p></p>
