Using str_replace( )

Question

how to remove onmousedown="return curwt(this, 'http://www.example.com/2009/07/content.html')" using str_replace( ), i know how to use this string but can not understand the way to configure this string to remove onmousedown="all content" in this way.
I have tried in this way: $result = str_replace("onmousedown''", " ", $result);
But it will not work.. any idea?

Use `preg_replace()` instead. `str_replace()` doesn't let you use wildcards like that. — ceejayoz, Sep 06 '12 at 16:18

I think that you want to use a regular expression

$result = preg_replace('/onmousedown=".*?"/', '', $result);

Or if it can be both apostrophes and quotes:

$result = preg_replace('/onmousedown=("|\').*?\1/', '', $result);

It's okay in that it will work.. I can't say whether it will do what you want it to do. – Explosion Pills Sep 06 '12 at 16:51

You can't use str_replace for this, because it can only replace pre-defined strings, no wildcards.

You can use preg_replace for this.
