I know strip_tags() strips the tags but is there a way to strip the tags and all the content in the tag.

i take it you mean like so

Hello i am <strong>DAN</strong> the man

basically you want to have it remove everything in bold

and now just make it:

Hello i am DAN the man

I think you could use something like ereg_replace

so tell it something like

PHP Code:

$text = "Hello i am <strong>DAN</strong> the man";
 
ereg_replace("<*>*</*>", "", $text); 


i think it would be something like that, so it would remove anything within any tag.

Thats sound work, but i havent tested and if it is wrong it woild be with the *'s basically if it isn't * you wnat what ever represents wildcard

Hope this helps

and as always, TP much appriciated
