Hi, Say I have some text. $text = 'You can logon here: <a href="http://website.com/shop/index.php?username='.$username.'">http://website.com/shop/index.php?username='.$username.'</a>.

Would it be safe to simply strip out anything between < and > ? Regards, -Josh ____________________________________ Joshua Kehn | Josh.Kehn@gmail.com http://joshuakehn.com

Hi Josh, Safe? Not sure what you mean. The text is for an email that is originally done in html code, that when sent, checks to see if the recipiant can get html emails. if not the text version is sent, but I want to remove any <a href""></a> tags before sending. This is how it starts: $text = 'You can logon here: <a href="http://website.com/shop/index.php?username='.$username.'">http://website.com/shop/index.php?username='.$username.'</a>. This link will take you to your web browser to login.'.$eol; This is how I want it if they dont get the thml version $text = 'You can logon here: http://website.com/shop/index.php?username='.$username.'. This link will take you to your web browser to login.'.$eol; Hope that clarifies Best, Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com
