[PHP] Preg_replace question

[David Russell]

Hi all,

Following on from a previous discussion, I am trying to write a "safe"
strip_tags function.

I start by applying htmlentities to the entire string, and then convert
"allowed" tags back.

One of the steps I am looking at doing is to replace something "<a
href="blah" onmouseover="blah"&gt;" with "<a href="blah">"

What would be a good preg_replace string for this?

Preg_replace('/(&lt;A)/i', '<a', $htmlstring);

Except I need to keep the href="<anything>" as well as the closing >,
but drop everything else.

I will be googling on this too, but a reply from this group is always
quicker <g>

Thanks
