Question

I have a url input field where untagged text gets stored as a link like this:

$newwebsiteurl = '<a target="_blank" href="http://' .$_POST['newwebsiteurl']
                  . '">' .   $_POST['newwebsiteurl'] . '</a>';

but now I want another form where the data can be edited and I want to echo back the information(from mysql) without the tags so basically the inverse of the above code I need to do something like this:

             echo $info['category'] 

minus this part:

                <a target="_blank" href="http://
                <a target="_blank" href="xxxxx">*show_this_part_only*</a>

Answer 1

echo str_replace("/http:\/\//","",$_POST['newwebsiteurl']");

For more clarity :

<a target="_blank" href="<?php echo $_POST['newwebsiteurl']; ?>"><?php echo str_replace("/http:\/\//","",$_POST['newwebsiteurl']"); ?></a>
