Can someone help me?

Answer 1

I suggest you keep the text in the link.

 strip_tags($text, '<br>'); 

or the hard way:

 preg_replace('#<a.*?>(.*?)</a>#i', '\1', $text) 

If you do not need to save the text in the link

 preg_replace('#<a.*?>.*?</a>#i', '', $text) 

Answer 2

Although strip_tags() is capable of basic line disinfection, it is not flawless. If the data you want to filter comes from the user, and especially if it is displayed back to other users, you might want to explore a more comprehensive HTML sanitizer, such as HTML Cleaner . These types of libraries can save you a lot of headaches along the way.

strip_tags() , and the various regex methods cannot and will not stop a user who really wants to enter something.

Answer 3

Try:

 preg_replace('/<a.*?<\/a>/','',"test test testa<br> <a href='http://www.example.com' target='_blank' title='title' style='text-decoration:none;'>name</a>"); 

Answer 4

strip_tags() will split the HTML tags.

Answer 5

these are my solutions:

 function removeLink($str){ $regex = '/<a (.*)<\/a>/isU'; preg_match_all($regex,$str,$result); foreach($result[0] as $rs) { $regex = '/<a (.*)>(.*)<\/a>/isU'; $text = preg_replace($regex,'$2',$rs); $str = str_replace($rs,$text,$str); } return $str;}

Another short solution without regular expressions:

 function remove_links($s){ while(TRUE){ @list($pre,$mid) = explode('<a',$s,2); @list($mid,$post) = explode('</a>',$mid,2); $s = $pre.$post; if (is_null($post))return $s; } } ?>
