Recommended Posts

I want to remove a div tag with all its content..so far i' m able to remove tags that don't contain any other tags inside..e.g <b>bla bla bla </b>..However the div tag i want to remove is like <div class="" style=""><tag>bla bla...<other tag/>....</tag></div>..any ideas??

$content = preg_replace('~<div class="" style="">(.*?)</div>~', '', $content);

 

only works if the div haves are both on the same line.  what if they aren't?

 

I use:

$content = preg_replace('~<div class="" style="">[^|]*?</div>~', '', $content);

 

this works even if there is a line break in between but fails if the not so used | symbol is in between anyone know a better way?

ah yes why did i not think of that

 

$content = preg_replace('~<div class="" style="">[\s\S]*?</div>~', '', $content);

 

as for nested divs it will remove the outermost div only.  placing inside a loop that keeps repeating until no more divs are found would remove all nested divs.
