How to remove links from a layer containing php

[adamddickinson]

Hello. I get my sites content from other feeds and this displays in a layer and is a php script think.

 

Is it possible to insert some html or something into the document to remove any links at all?

[wildteen88]

You can use PHP to remove html from strings. PHP has a few methods to do this. It depends on how you get the data.

Can you provide an example of the data being retrieved and the end result you want?

[adamddickinson]

i am getting an rss feed.. generated by http://www.rssfeedreader.com

 

I got the link set up and put the php code in the layer and turned the page into .php and it works good. just like to disable any links in the layer so users of my site cannot click on the links to get out of my site.

Can you copy and paste an example feed. It sounds like some simple parsing needs to be done. If I had something to work with I would be more than happy to give it a shot.

Well if i insert the code just after the rss one and save the file the links are still active

Sorry some minor issues, that should work.

when putting in the code above into a layer and save the file. I get this http://www.technicalchat.co.uk/Test/index6.php

 

Thankyou so far

Try this:

foreach ($rssSplit as $link) {

Well the feeds show finally but they are still clickable links.

 

Thanks

Thanks alot works a treat www.technicalchat.co.uk  anychance i could take out the bottom 'Clickbank Data Feeds'

 

The only reason i am using it is because i dont have the knowledge to try putting a rss reader on my site for my self so i am using this. It will have to do though.

 

Also. Is it as easy as changing the link to the rss feed for another one and it will do the same with the links?

I would think so...

 

Thanks alot.

 

 

[per1os]

It would as long as they are in the same format.

 

The feed I did it for I had to split a link using  " >  with the space in between, it could be just > but the issues arises that if a title has > in it, it will not work right.

 

I get 403 forbidden trying to view that page, if I could see I am sure removing that clickbank isn't too hard.

[adamddickinson]

sorry about that.. links all over the place with this
