regular expressions

html

[bootsboard]

I'm one that avoids them like the plague.

Here a question
This expression removes everything between, including the <> in HTML "<[^>]*>" However I want everthing between the <> which contains mailto: or http: to remain, is this possible with regular expressions. Might be a stupid question but I have just started using them, Finding them a bit hard at the moment. I.e how to you add expressions. like

search text for string1, string2 and string3 etc

welcome!

preg_replace("/\<[^\>]*\>/","",preg_replace("/\<([^\>]*mailto:[^\>]*)\>/","[$1]",preg_replace("/\<([^\>]*http:[^\>]*)\>/","[$1]","$text")));

try that?

preg_replace("/\<[^\>]*\>/","",preg_replace("/\<([^\>]*mailto:[^\>]*)\>/i","[$1]",preg_replace("/\<([^\>]*http:[^\>]*)\>/","[$1]","$text"))); 

just a wee change to make it case insensitive :)
