Replace everything between two strings?

[DesignGuy]

I need to replace everything between and including two snippets of HTML
code, for example:

</table></td></tr></table> klsdjff sd fsd fs fs df sdfs df sdf sd fsf d
<B><P> sfd sd fsdfs <br>

The </table></td></tr></table> and <br> parts will be the same. I want to
remove them and everything in between, including /n line breaks.

Can't figure out the regex in PHP to do this.... any ideas?

use stristr().

First split up the whole string based on your first delimiter
(</table></td>....). take the end part of that result (which is now
everything after your first delim). Then split it up again, but use your
2nd delimiter (<br>). Use the beginning part of that result. you now have
a string that is between your two delimiters.

now use that string and stristr again on the original, full string, and
simply replace it with a empy space.

$text = preg_replace('!</table></td></tr></table>.*?<br>!s', '', $text);

The key here is the s modifier, which tells PCRE that you want the dot to
match \n as well.
