Hi,
You must escape "-" (minus sign) because is a
meta-character for regular expressions. See
http://www.php.net/manual/en/pcre.pattern.syntax.php.
Your line of code might be:
<CODE>
$text = preg_replace('/<!\-\-(.*)\-\->/','',$text);
</CODE>
This line of code, if you are parsing HTML file row by
row, strips only "one line" comments. Comments spanned
on multiple lines are unaffected.
