Remove span tags that have font family declaration

[brianlange]

I need a regular expression that will remove all span tags that have a font-family css declaration.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">

 

I could probably write this but I need to know how to also remove the closing

</span>

tag.

 

Thanks,

 

Brian

note that $note will be the text that you are comparing

preg_match_all('/<span style\=\"font\-family>(.*?)<\/span>/i', $note, $matches);

My version is smarter but more complicated.

$note = one two three 
four
END;

do $note = preg_replace('#]+style="[^"]*font-family:[^"]*"[^>]*>(([^#is', '$1', $oldnote = $note);
while ($oldnote != $note);

echo $note;

Why not just remove the font-family from the style tag? If you would like to do that, just do something like this:

 

$new_string = preg_replace("/font-family\:.+?;/i", "", $string);
