I think the syntax should be<br />
<br />
$html = preg_replace('\&lt;p&gt;\&lt;\p&gt;','<wbr />' , $html);<br />
<br />
to remove &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br />
<br />
Ss<br />

I think the syntax should be

$html = preg_replace('\<p>\<\p>','' , $html);

to remove <p></p>

I think you have to escape every less than and greater than &nbsp;and slash. <br />
\&lt;p\&gt;\&lt;\/p\&gt;

Hi Experts!<br />
<br />
With Curl my script receives HTML code from a website. From that source I would like to strip all empty tags such as &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;<br />
<br />
Somehow I can't seem to remove them, I think it has something to do with character settings or something. This is what I've tried:<br />
<br />
$html = preg_replace('/&lt;[^\/&gt;]*&gt;([<wbr />\s]?)*&lt;\/[<wbr />^&gt;]*&gt;/',''<wbr /> , $html);<br />
$html = preg_replace('%&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;%','<wbr />' , $html);<br />
$html = preg_replace('%&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;%','' , $html);<br />
$html = str_replace('&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;','',$html);<br />
<br />
Any suggestions?
