Hello,

I am fairly new to PHP and am having an (SILLY) issue that I cannot seem
to resolve:

I am pulling data from an html file and some of the lines of text that I
need start with "</a>".

I cannot seem to get rid of that tag!!!

I have tried:

*       str_replace("<\a>", "", $line)
*       preg_replace('/<\/a>/', '', $line)  and various other attempts
at creating the appropriate regex for <\a>
*       $line = htmlspecialchars($line)

str_replace("&lt;/a&gt;", "", $line)

*       And obviously strip_tags is not working for me either!

Do you have any suggestions?

Echo out the line before and after you perform something like strip_tags() on it to see if you're inputting what you're expecting...

echo ( $line );
$line = strip_tags ( $line );
echo ( $line );
