eregi_replace or str_replace can do that for you Bastien

From: "Ron Piggott (PHP)" <ron.php@actsministries.org> Reply-To: ron.php@actsministries.org To: PHP DB <php-db@lists.php.net> Subject: [PHP-DB] Searching PHP strings Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 21:12:18 -0400 I have been playing tonight for a few minutes. The following code: <? $lineArray = file("/home/actsmin/www/home_page.html"); // make an empty variable first $content = ""; // concat all array element foreach($lineArray as $eachLine) { if ( eregi("<a href=" , $eachLine) == "1" ) { #line contains a link echo strlen(stristr($eachLine, "<a href=")) . "\r\n"; echo trim(stristr($eachLine, "<a href=")) . "\r\n"; } $content .= $eachLine; } ?> Produces me output like: 137 <a href="http://www.actsministrieschristianevangelism.org/christianliving/quiet_time_quotations_and_reflection_topics.html">here</a>.<p> What I want to do now is to remove the <a href=" and just be left with http://www.actsministrieschristianevangelism.org/christianliving/quiet_time_quotations_and_reflection_topics.html and remove all the text which follows this --- On this line it is ">here</a>.<p> Would someone help me do this?
