Remove a html tag in a $string

[karthikeyan_coder]

Hello,

      I am parsing a rss. While parsing i am getting some  images inside the description. Actually i dont want it. so i try to remove <img tags.

 

$desc = "this is the sample image <img src='image.jpg'> have a look on it";

 

I need $desc like "this is the sample image <!-- <image src='image.jpg'> --> have a look on it"

 

any help?

you need str_replace()

http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php

 

$desc = "this is the sample image <img src='image.jpg'> have a look on it";
$desc = strip_tags($desc, '<a><p><br>'); // the second param is for allowable tags. 

 

However this will remove that reference completely. If you want to replace it with how you have it above, I would suggest ereg_replace and use regex to replace the content.
