remove strings

[hunt00]

I have the string $orig. Could someone help me to remove all the brackets and strings inside the brackets? The result will look like $final.

$orig = "text1<something>text2<others>text3";
$final = "text1text2text3";

Thanks very much!

 

[jpadie]

$pattern = '/<.*?>/i';
$final = preg_replace($pattern, '', $orig);

or, not using regex (and the manual recommends not using regular expressions when there is an alternative)

$final = strip_tags($orig);

Thanks greatly! It works very well!

hunt00,

Perhaps you could give some closure on this thread?
