preg_replace - need help plz

Hi

I'm using PHP's preg_replace function that can handle regular expressions.

I'm trying to remove a <a href="xxx.com">click here<a> from a bunch of HTML, but the link itself contains a random number, and there is some text directly after the </a> that I'm also trying to remove.

So, for example:

sample text:

asdsa sad asd sada hkjas <a href="xxx.com?a=32432432432>click here</a> to follow link. asdsadsad asda das dsad asd <a href="xxx.com">click some more</a> sdasadasd ad adsa sad adasd dsad ada das


I want to match and remove ( replace with "" ) >> <a href="xxx.com?a=32432432432>click here</a> to follow link.

where the "32432432432" is random, while leaving other <a> tags untouched - hence the attempt to match as much as possible with only the number as a "wildcard"...
