I am not clear what you want. Do you want to search for xxx, if found, remove it ?

yes remove all if get same pattern.. the problem is how to make regex pattern...

Member Avatar for nav33n 
$pattern = "/x{3}/";
$string = preg_replace($pattern,'', $string);

This will look for xxx, if found, replaces it with null.

not like that.. iwant to remove all from <script> tag till </script> if match with the pattern..

the pattern from
<script .....>
... targetword1..
... targetword2..
... targetword3..

</script>

This isn't the best solution (Infact, its kinda sloppy!). First, use preg_match to search for pattern "xxx". If found, then, use preg_match again, but this time, search for pattern, '/<script[^>]+\>(.*)<\/script>/s' . This will again return the string between <script> tags. Then use str_replace and replace the matched string with "".
