Hi Guys,

I need to be able to strip out certain html tags and/or grab some info
from within tags.

This may be two different functions, but I'm trying to figure out the
best way to go about this.

Let's say I have the following string and it's set to VAR

<p><img alt="" src="http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt257/jason/
_729525533_n.jpg" style="width: 614px; height: 502px; " /></p>

So #var# is that string.

I need to remove the <p> (and other html tags like <b>)

I also want to grab the src link out of the img tag.

This is for a messaging app, and I'm trying to grab the first 80
characters of a message and display that in the user's inbox. I need
to allow some basic formatting in the messaging app, and users can add
images, etc. Problem is when I do a simple left(var,80) it doesn't
remove all of the html, and the html breaks that inbox formatting.

So if the message was #var# I'd want to take it from

<p><img alt="" src="http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt257/jason/
_729525533_n.jpg" style="width: 614px; height: 502px; " /></p>

to

Ideas?
