[SOLVED] preg_replace!

[b00ker_b0y]

hey people, trying to  use preg_replace to edit some text. For example, the following text has links and an image.

 

I want the normal links to stay, and the breaks "< b r >" but i want the image and it link at the end to be removed. What ever i am doing is causing issues like messing up links of removing the breaks so i am doign something wrong.

 

 

Spain had also regained its growth in the overall number of <a href="http://www.lamangaspain.com/index.htm" target="_blank">holidays</a> from the UK, after being hit by the rise in popularity of other cheap destinations such as Egypt, Turkey and Eastern Europe.<br/><br/>In total, Brits made over 12 million trips to Spain last year to spend more than &#163;5 billion on their southern neighbours.<br/><br/>According to Mintel, agents were currently struggling in Spain, and needed to expand or appeal to a more high-end market to reverse the negative trend.<br/><br/>The research showed that the country's appeal to the young was falling as the 20 to 24 year old group was now the least likely to travel to the country.<br/><img alt="ADNFCR-1179-ID-18240457-ADNFCR" src="http://feeds.directnews.co.uk/feedtrack/adferocopyright.gif?feedid=1179&itemid=18240457" />

can you post in code tags

#1 what you have (want to change)

#2 what you want #1 to look like after filtering

 

 

also can a mod/admin move this to the correct section please

 

EDIT:

correct section is regex

hey, sorry did not know where to post this?

thought i was in correct place.

 

$logo_description = $news[Content];
		$logoless_description = preg_replace("/<img/", "", $logo_description);
		$logoless_description = preg_replace(" />/", "", $logo_description);

 

just want the text be the same with all the breaks, and links in tact, just with the image and its link on the end removed.

just want image knocked off the end, but the image could be different so have a different name so just need remove everthing between <img and />.

[MadTechie]

so this i think

 

$data = 'Spain had also regained its growth in the overall number of <a href="http://www.lamangaspain.com/index.htm" target="_blank">holidays</a> from the UK, after being hit by the rise in popularity of other cheap destinations such as Egypt, Turkey and Eastern Europe.<br/><br/>In total, Brits made over 12 million trips to Spain last year to spend more than &#163;5 billion on their southern neighbours.<br/><br/>According to Mintel, agents were currently struggling in Spain, and needed to expand or appeal to a more high-end market to reverse the negative trend.<br/><br/>The research showed that the country\'s appeal to the young was falling as the 20 to 24 year old group was now the least likely to travel to the country.<br/><img alt="ADNFCR-1179-ID-18240457-ADNFCR" src="http://feeds.directnews.co.uk/feedtrack/adferocopyright.gif?feedid=1179&itemid=18240457" />';


$data = preg_replace('/(<img.*>)$/i', '', $data);

echo $data;

 

 

EDIT: escaped the ' ;P
