Removing some HTML with preg_replace

#1 July 17th, 2005, 05:57 AM

I need to be able to upload a file (html) to the server and strip away
everything up-to and including the <BODY> tag and everything from
</BODY> down. I have a perl script that does this successfully using
the following 2 lines...
$progress_report =~s/^.*<BODY.*?>//s;
$progress_report =~s/<\/BODY>.*//s;

I want to be able to do this with php. Can anybody help me with this?
I tried using hte regexp above in the preg_replace() function, but it
did not work.

For that one needs a parser, not a single regular expression.

The same regexps, different syntax:

$progress_report = preg_replace(array('/^.*<BODY.*?>/si', '/<\/BODY>.*/si'),
array('', ''), $progress_report);
