php-regexHow to remove a tag from a string using PHP regex?

Using PHP regex, you can remove a tag from a string by using the preg_replace() function. This function takes two parameters, the first being the pattern to search for and the second being the replacement string.

For example, to remove a tag from a string, you can use the following code:

$string = '<p>This is a string with a tag.</p>';
$string = preg_replace('/<[^>]*>/', '', $string);

The code above will search for any tag in the string and replace it with an empty string. The output of the code above will be:

This is a string with a tag.

The code consists of two parts:

1. The pattern to search for: /<[^>]*>/
   • This pattern searches for any tag in the string.
2. The replacement string: ''
   • This is an empty string which will replace any tag found in the string.
