Question

I am using wordpress custom fields to dynamically display a imdb link to an actors name on multiple pages of the site. In one section, I want to remove the link markup (a href) leaving just the actors name. I tried using php strip_tags which worked great, however it also removed the break in between actors names. I want it JUST to remove the link market and leave the <br> markup. See current markup:

<?php $response = get_field('director'); ?>
<span id="dir"><?php echo strip_tags($response); ?></span>

How would I use php to leave the breaks but remove the link?

Answer 1

Set the allowed tags:

strip_tags($response, '<br>');
