Re: preg_replace help

Maybe I should clarify. $message = '<p>Visit <a href="http://jaxn.org" target="_top">My personal site</a> to learn more about me.</p> <p>Visit <a href="http://memigo.com">memigi</a> to learn about current events.'; What I want is to run a preg_replace to get the following: Visit My personal site (http://jaxn.org) to learn more about me. Visit memigo (http://memigo.com) to learn about current events. stripping the HTML is easy, but before I do I want to convert the links.
