PHP regular expression help

[mrithula]

Hi,

I need to replace the anchor tag with text

Example:
<a href=aaa.php>aaa</a> should be replaced as ccc

any help is appreciated.

Why ccc? From where is "ccc"??? you can use str_replace for your problem, like this str_replace('<a href="aaa.php">aaa</a>', 'ccc', $yourHTMLString);

ccc is just an example.
all anchor tags should be replaced by a text.
The anchor tags have different href values.

[guido2004]

preg_replace('/<a[^>]*>.*?<\/a>/', 'ccc', 'Let us see if <a href="whatever">whatever</a> this regex gets all the <a>anchor tags</a> ?'); 

result:

"Let's see if ccc this regex gets all the ccc ?"

I used this tutorial to put the regex together, and this regex tester to test it (there are lots of them, I found this one googling for 'preg_replace tester').
