                              href="../general/term.html"> Term of Use</A> </p>

              </div>
            </div>

 

how to remove using preg_replace only for link and anchor text

<A class=lns 
                              href="mailto:[email protected]">Webmaster</A> 
                  |

 

I'm using preg_replace('/<A class=lns(.*)[email protected](.*)\|/i','',$str);

but not work

Your problem is your stars are greedy.  change .* to .*?  though personally I'd probably suggest using a negative char class instead:  [^|]*

 

Also since you are replacing it with nothing, no reason to capture anything in there (get rid of the parenthesis)

 

Also judging by your example, you may need to add the s modifier to your pattern.
