Possible Duplicate:
PHP – remove <img> tag from string

I have my content like this:

$content = '<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img width="645" height="450" src="/proshore/userfiles/image/1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>An explorer adventures into an unknown world, yet it seems that he has been there      before. A short animated film directed by Malcolm Sutherland in 2010. With music by Alison Melville and Ben Grossman, and foley by Leon Lo. Sound design / mix by Malcolm Sutherland.</p>
<p>The animation is all hand-drawn; a mix of drawing / pastels on paper and digital animation with Toonboom Studio and a wacom cintiq tablet, assembled in After Effects 7 and edited in Sony Vegas 8.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>';

I want the output ignoring the <img> tag. I tried some messups with preg_replace but didn’t work.. It will be a great help if someone can explain me how it works.

    If you are not forced to use regular expressions to parse HTML content, then I’d suggest using PHP’s strip_tags() function along with its allowed_tags argument.

    This will tell PHP to remove all the html tags and leave the ones your specified in the allowed_tags.

    Example usage taken from the documentation –

    $text = '<p>Test paragraph.</p><!-- Comment --> <a href="#fragment">Other text</a>';
echo strip_tags($text); 
// output : Test paragraph. Other text

// Allow <p> and <a>
echo strip_tags($text, '<p><a>'); 
// output - <p>Test paragraph.</p> <a href="#fragment">Other text</a>

    So, if you simply specify all the HTML tags in allow_tags except the <img> tag, you should get the results that you need – only removing the <img> tag from your string.
