Replacing content inside HTML
tag having specific language characters using php

Question

<p class="myClass">你好</p><p class="myClass">你好</p></div> <div class="myDiv">Integer in ante sit amet tellus sodales sagittis non sit amet nisi. Integer sollicitudin, orci nec tincidunt laoreet, dui quam tempor risus, sed mollis nisl libero nec ligula</div><p class="myClass">你好</p>

I am trying to replace only <p class="myClass">你好</p> But whole string is being replaced.

Pattern:

$pattern = "/<p class=\"myClass\">(.)*<\/p>/";
preg_replace($pattern,"",$string);

When I Put p tag on new line it works good. But having p tag Without space replacing all the string.

What you want bro. I think @Mohammad Already gave the answer. — Suman, Sep 27 '18 at 06:53
It's more appropriate to use DOM parsing for this kind of tasks. — Jeto, Sep 27 '18 at 07:03
HTML and regex are not good friends. Use a parser, it is simpler, faster and much more maintainable. See: http://php.net/manual/en/class.domdocument.php — Toto, Sep 27 '18 at 08:47

The (.*?) select all character but you need to select <p> so use [^<]+ instead that select every character except <.

$pattern = "/<p class=\"myClass\">[^<]+<\/p>/";
preg_replace($pattern, "", $string);

Check result in demo

This won't work if any other HTML element (e.g. ``) is in the paragraph (now, only OP knows if that may or may not happen). PS: I wasn't the one downvoting the answer tho :) – Jeto Sep 27 '18 at 06:51

Try this :-

$str = '<p class="myClass">你好</p><p class="myClass">你好</p></div> <div class="myDiv">Integer in ante sit amet tellus sodales sagittis non sit amet nisi. Integer sollicitudin, orci nec tincidunt laoreet, dui quam tempor risus, sed mollis nisl libero nec ligula</div><p class="myClass">你好</p>';
preg_replace('#<p(.*?)>(.*?)</p>#is', '', $str);

It will replace all the <p> tags from the string.

You can use StackOverflow's own snippet function (edit: I'm stupid) – Jeto Sep 27 '18 at 06:59
But that will be only for JS, I think – Yash Parekh Sep 27 '18 at 07:00
Oh, sorry lol, for some reason I thought it was JS, forget about it. Still waking up :) – Jeto Sep 27 '18 at 07:01
