Stripping html tags.

[Heppy]

Hey, I'm doing a thing for work, and I need to strip out a <li> tag from a source,

 

The li tag looks like this:

 

<li class="g" id="mbbDD">CONTENT HERE WITH TAGS NEWLINES ETC</li>

Where the DD in ID is random Numbers so any numbers should do.

 

^{<li class="g c35">}

                  ^{<h3 class="r">}

                    ^{<a href="http://www.massagestockholm.net/" class="l"><em>Massage Stockholm</em></a>}

                  ^</h3>

 

                  ^{<div class="s">}

This is my "solution" i've come up with but it doesn't work as I'd like.

It removes the designated tag AND everything after =/...

 

Any ideas?

 

^{preg_replace('/<li class="g" id="mbb[\d]*">(.*|\s*)*<\/li>/', "", $content);}

[Heppy]

That'll only strip non allowed tags.

I wish to only remove the tags with certain ID's & Class,

 

Which I don't think strip_tags can do..

[JonnoTheDev]

You are looking from the wrong angle. What you need to look at is what data do you want to extract, not what you want to get rid of. Can you give a more detailed explanation. I cannot tell from your OP what you want from the source.

[Heppy]

kk,

There's a list of <li> tags

Some of the <li> tags has class, some of it has CLASS AND ID

 

^{<li class="g"></li>}

^{<li class="g"><li>}

^{<li class="g" id="mbb50"></li>}

^{<li class="g"></li>}

^{<li class="g"></li>}

 

I want to get all the <li> elements with ONLY a class, NOT an ID.

Nice! Thanks alot!

 

Worked like a charm 

[Heppy]

Remade the your script and use the filter version and modified it a bit and added the class="g" & id="mbb

 

And it worked like a charm, now I get the same result as your script instead I just do it one one line of code

 

Couldn't have done it without your regexp thou, as that was the part that made it work.
