使用DOM或正则表达式删除<p>＆nbsp; </ p>

Question

How can I remove this type p tag <p>&nbsp;</p> using DOM or regex?

I want to remove multiple p like this too,

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

If you want to remove a string that is exactly, always, '<p>&nbsp;</p>', the simplest and fastest solution is probably to use str_replace() :

$new_string = str_replace('<p>&nbsp;</p>', '', $old_string);

I don't think it's necessary to use DOM for such a simple case -- and a regex is not necessary here.

Of course, if you need to replace something more complex, that is not always exactly the same string... well, it'll be time for DOM manipulations ;-)
