preg_replace not working?

[deansaddigh]

i want to remove any links which get pulled  out in my general information query.

 

$general_info = $row['general_info'];
			$general= preg_replace('/<a href="([^<]*)">([^<]*)<\/a>/', '', $general_info);

			echo '<h2>General Information : <img src="images/mag.png"></h2>';
			echo '<div id="featurecontent">';
			echo '<p>'. ucfirst($general).'</p>';
			echo '</div>';

 

But the above code doesnt seem to be stripping out links.

 

Can anyone see what i am doing wrong.

 

Kind Regards
