Hello, I am fairly new to PHP and am having an (SILLY) issue that I cannot seem to resolve: I am pulling data from an html file and some of the lines of text that I need start with "</a>". I cannot seem to get rid of that tag!!! I have tried: * str_replace("<\a>", "", $line) * preg_replace('/<\/a>/', '', $line) and various other attempts at creating the appropriate regex for <\a> * $line = htmlspecialchars($line) str_replace("&lt;/a&gt;", "", $line) * And obviously strip_tags is not working for me either! Do you have any suggestions?

Echo out the line before and after you perform something like strip_tags() on it to see if you're inputting what you're expecting... echo ( $line ); $line = strip_tags ( $line ); echo ( $line ); -- John C.
