[SOLVED] replacing everything between two strings

[calabiyau]

<img style="width: 91px; height: 76px" src="images/star.gif" border="1" alt="star" title="star" hspace="1" vspace="1" width="91" height="76" align="left" />

 

Tricky question for the above line of html.  I have a content editor for a blog that outputs this piece of code for inserting an image.  However I am trying to have a rich text format export option to export the blog entries and want to replace all the above with a simple tag like <missing image>.  So I am looking for something that will take everything between <img   and /> and replace it, without affecting any other occurences of things like width, height, etc that occur elsewhere on the page outside  the image tage.  Anybody have any idea of how this could be done?

And I have tried using strip tags to just get rid of the image tags altogether but it seems to stop all the rest of the content on the blog entry from displaying.

$text=preg_replace("/<img (.*) \/>/","<missing image>",$text);

Thanks, worked perfectly.I've been avoiding regular expressions like the plague, but I guess it's time to learn!
