I am trying to strip URL's out of a text. There is a function for this in php, but I can't find it anywhere. Can sombody help?

hi, it's strip_tags and only removes the tags (<a href ...) but keeps the plain text that would be displayed in a text browser.

Hi there, thank you for the hint. This it the one I was searching for. However unfortunatelly the function also strips all other tags! I am looking for one that only does strip the <a href tag. I am not so familar with regex, but I fear I would need to :-( My guess is that it must be something like this: $str = 'foo <a href="">test</a> o'; $str = preg_replace('<a (.*)', '', $str); echo $str; Can anybody help me on that? Thank you so much in advance. Regards, Merlin
