anyone know a good way to do this? got a CMS which is accepting style attributes for the <p> tag, which then override my css styles on the site. Need to keep the <p> tag just remove all it's attributes;

ie
<p style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal">

becomes

<p>

PHP Code:

preg_replace('/<p[^>]+>/i','<p>',$content); 

Something like that should do it. put your content into the $content variable, and then run the preg_replace function on it

Cheers figured it'd be some sort of regular expression - thought it may be more complex than that though. I was hoping there may have been a command to achieve it similar to strip_tags

[Jay6390]

Not that I am aware of. If you want to do it for all tags, a simple

PHP Code:

preg_replace('/<\s*(\w+)[^>]+>/i','<$1>',$content); 

will strip anything after the initial tag

EDIT: In the orignial code, it will match <param> and <pre> so you need to check for them. change the pattern to

Code:

'/<p\b[^>]*+>/i'

oh, yeah, thanks a lot, this saved my ***.

BTW, the expression had a quirk. It was cutting the last letter from all tags that had no attributes, but this problem has a very easy solution:

Code:

preg_replace('/<\s*(\w+) [^>]+>/i', '<$1>',$content);

Notice i added a space between w+) and [^. I'm not sure how good this solution is, but it works for me.

If you want to strip any tag, use the strip_tags function, you don't need a regular expression

Could I leave some attributes in?

what is your CMS?
if its Joomla I think they can handle it perfectly with some add-ons and some other components.
