remove from string... how to do?

Sam Granger · 12-04-2007, 07:49 AM

Lets say I have a string with the following content:

Quote:

[rightimage]imagename.jpg[/image]Hello this is a test[image]hello.jpg[/image][image]chimp.jpg[/image]Cool! [image]cool.jpg[/image]

How can I make PHP search for the tags (image and rightimage) and remove them ant the contents so I'm left over with:

Quote:

Hello this is a testCool!

Thanks for looking!

Are we assuming the string will always be the same, e.g. some text embedded within image tags with image names?

Use a regular expression to weed out anything between and including the opening and closing [ image ] tags.

Like so?

PHP Code:


			
$searchfor = array(

    '#\[rightimage\](.*?)\[/rightimage\]#',

    '#\[image\](.*?)\[/image\]#'

);

$replacewith = array(

    '',

    ''

);

return preg_replace($searchfor , $replacewith, $text);
