str_replace image tags

[peterb]

Hello all,

I am trying to eliminate the following break and image tag:

<br><img src="/images/grammi.gif" width="100%" height="2px">

using

$remove = array('\n', '\r', '\t', '<br><img src', '=\"', '\/images\/grammi', '.gif\"', 'width', '=\"', '100', '%\"', 'height=', '\"2px', '\">');
                $str = str_replace($remove, "", $str); 

but I am seeing the following returned in html:

='/images/grammi.gif' ='%' '2px'>

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

always use double quotes if you're going to use escape characters, for starters.

I'm getting the feeling you're actually wanting to preg_match rather than str_replace....

Hello StarLion,

Thank you for your response. I changed the single quotes to double but it still did not work.

Here is what I have done now. I use preg_match_all to find the specific area of html that I want to change, then I use the following to delete the img tag.

preg_match_all('/<span class="news_home_list">(.*?)<\/span>.*?/s', $html, $posts, PREG_SET_ORDER);

$remove = array("\n", "\r", "\t", "<br><img src", "=\"", "\/images\/grammi", ".gif\"", "width", "=\"", "100", "%\"", "height=", "\"2px", "\">");
                $str = str_replace($remove, "", $str); 

Unfortunately it still does not work. I tried to eliminate each piece of the img tag and that seems to do it better but then I am left with single quotes for some strange reason rather than the double quotes.

So... you're trying to completely obliviate the image tags?

$str = preg_replace("~<br><img (.*?)>~","",$str);

That did it.

Many thanks
