How to remove hyperlink from array fields value in php - php

Question

I have a php code as shown below in which at Line A prints the following o/p:
php code:
<?php
public function record_insert($data, $type)
{
echo '<pre>'; print_r($data); echo '</pre>'; // Line A
return false;
}
?>
O/P:
Array
(
[hello] => Good Morning
[world] => Good Evening
[text] => No
)
The top 2 array fields value have http://google.com/ and https://www.bing.com/ as url.
Problem Statement:
What I want to achieve is, I want to get rid of hyperlinks from the top 2 fields value.
I know I have to use strip_tags() function but I am not sure how I have to use it.

Answer 1

strip_tags() function is used to remove any HTML or XML tags from a string.
function record_insert($data, $type = "")
{
// remove hyperlinks from the top 2 fields
$data['hello'] = strip_tags($data['hello']);
$data['world'] = strip_tags($data['world']);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($data);
echo '</pre>';
return false;
}
$data = array(
"hello" => "<a href='http://google.com/'></a>",
"world" => "<a href='http://bing.com/'>Good Evening</a>",
"text" => "No"
);
record_insert($data);
O/P
Array
(
[hello] =>
[world] => Good Evening
[text] => No
)
