" Paul! "; $html = preg_replace('</?img((\s+\w+(\s*=\s*(?:".*?"|\'.*?\'|[^\'">\s]+))?)+\s*|\s*)/?>', '', $html); echo $html; ?> Any help appreciated.

Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your home page. http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

why not a simple: $html = preg_replace('#(<[/]?img.*>)#U', '', $html); ?

Wouldn't your example do this? <p><img src="..." /><br /> some description</p>

    ^--catch from here to here ??-------------^

Would it not be better if the .* was [^>]+ instead. Wouldn't the .* catch an > even if it was like this? Jim
