Hopefully this works, I havent tried it.
preg_replace("/<img [^>]+>/i","",$string);

[^>] just means, keep matching until you find the ">" character, which should be the end of the tag.

you shouldnt really need the parenthesis either...

Thanks for your reply, i've tried it, it don't seem to work.

to keep it simple i tried the following:

<?php
$string="... <img src='meis'> .....";
preg_replace("/<img [^>]+>/i","",$string);
echo $string;
?>

the image is still in the string, any input would very much be appriciated.

When you do the preg_replace, you'll need to reassign the variable "string" as the result, i.e.

<?php
$string="... <img src='meis'> .....";
echo $string = preg_replace("/<img[^>]+>/i","",$string);
?>

Thanks Brotherhood_of_LAN, that works well.

I am way too optimistic trying to build a search engine, while i'm still struggeling with basic php syntaxes.
