字符串在PHP中从字符串替换HTML

Question

I'm trying to remove a string of HTML from another string, but for some reason nothing happens and it doesn't get removed.

The code I'm using is:

$saveContent = str_replace('<input type="hidden" name="formID" value="'.$id.'" />','',$saveContent);

The string doesn't get replaced. I want to remove the hidden element before I enter it in a DB.

Am I missing something?

i believe this is what you are looking for:

$content_editor = strip_tags($content_editor);
$content_editor = html_entity_decode($content_editor);
