php - how to remove whole img element with a SRC value in an UTF-8 string? -

for example algorithm:

$text = 'some text1 <img src="1.jpg" />  text2 <img src="2.jpg">'; if($src == '1.jpg')    remove(img tag in $text) echo htmlspecialchars($text, ent_quotes, "utf-8") 

and result must be:

some text1 text2 <img src="2.jpg>" 

use preg_replace directly, no condition , preg_match needed.

$text = 'some text1 <img src="1.jpg" />  text2 <img src="2.jpg">';  echo preg_replace('~(<img.*[\'"]1\.jpg[\'"].*>)~', '', $text); // text1 text2 <img src="2.jpg"> 

the first ['"] needed avoid removing eg. a1.jpg file, second 1 optional. it's better understand how works.

update
due comment below, here updated version variable name:

$file = '1.jpg'; $text = 'some text1 <img src="1.jpg" />  text2 <img src="2.jpg" />'; echo preg_replace('~<img[^>]+[\'"]' . $file . '[\'"].*?/>~', '', $text);
