String replacement functions are ideal when you know exactly what you want to replace.

 

If you are unsure about exactly what you want to replace but you have a vague idea of where the data you want to replace will appear, you could use pattern matching.

 

Pattern matching in PHP is done using Regular Expressions.

 

I am assuming you will always want to replace anything that appears within the quotes of the href attribute with your own text. If so, this will work:

<?php
$subject = "<a class=\"scorelink\" target=\"match_details\" onclick=\"window.open('','match_details','width=400,height=188,menubar=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes')\" href=\"/default.dll/game?comp=cl_group_A&game=357186\">";

$replaced = preg_replace('/href=(["\'])[^\1]+\1/i', '', $subject);


echo htmlspecialchars($subject);
echo '<hr />';
echo htmlspecialchars($replaced);
