PHP : eregi_replace problem

[rv2k]

I have a html page like this

<script language="vbscript">
some script
</script>

Some text

<script language="vbscript">
some more script
</script>

Some more text

I want to remove the scripts so i used the following code:

$open = fopen("file.html", "r");
$read = fread($open,  20000);
fclose($open);

$read = eregi_replace("<script>(.*)</script>", "" , $read);

what it outputs is just Some more text. The scripts are gone but along with them the Some text. I dont want some text to be erased.

Please Help,
Thanks in advance,
Rabin

this is a guess

$open = fopen("file.html", "r");
$read = fread($open,  20000);
fclose($open);

$read = eregi_replace("<script>", "" , $read);
$read = eregi_replace("</script>", "" , $read);

never mind that wont work.

Yeah, that'll just remove the <script> and </script> tags but the code will be displayed.

Hi,

use explode() to chop up the string into an array, then loop through the array doing

$read[$i] = eregi_replace("<script>(.*)</script>", "" , $read[$i]);

on each element, then implode() all the parts back into a string

Hope that's not to confusing--i don't have enough time to provide sample code

What should I use as a seperator for explode() ? </script> ?

[billzeller]

yup, use </script>. Then do something like

eregi_replace("<script>(.*)", "", $var[$i])

If that doesn't clarify it I might just have to write up some working code
