Clean-up a long string contents ... Posted by shamilsons on 30 May 2010 at 11:37 PM

Hello everyone,
I tried to clean-up some html tags(i.e. , , <img ...>, etc) and just leave <tr><td>Expresions</td></tr> expressions for the given string below.

<tr><td>ISSN:</b></td><td bgcolor="#eeeeee" valign=top halign=left width="70%"><font face="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">1097-6353</td></tr><tr align=left><td valign=top width="25%" ><font face="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"><b>Title:</b></td><td valign=top width="70%" ><font face="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1"><tr align=left><td width="60%" valign=top><font face="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">A-E-C Systems</font></td><td width="40%" align=right valign=top><font face="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-2"><a href="#AdditionalTitleInfo"><img src="/ulrichsweb/images/fullCitation/tri_arrow_down.gif" width=11 height=6 border=0 alt="Additional Title Information" vspace=0 hspace=10>Additional Title Information</a></font></td></tr></table>

I tried several way with regular expressions but could not succeed.
Any help will be apperciated ...
thank you.

Maybe this works:

$search = "%(<[A-Za-z]+)(.*?)(>)%is";
$replace = "\\1\\3";
$newString = preg_replace($search,$replace, $oldString);

Why not just use the strip_tags function?

$oldString ='<tr><td>ISSN:</b></td><td bgcolor="#eeeeee" valign=top halign=left width="70%"><font face="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">1097-6353</td></tr>';

$newString = strip_tags($oldString, '<tr><td>');

echo $oldString . "\n";
echo $newString;

I think he wants to clean styles also and strip_tags don't work for that.

If you have something like "<td style='xxx'>hello</td>" with strip_tags will result "<td style='xxx'>hello</td>" and I guess he wants to get "<td>hello</td>".
