[RESOLVED] How I remove a href link in between div class?

I'm trying figure out how remove a href link between div class on php script but tough is:

normal display:

<div class="showtimes"> <a href="#">10:00am</a> <span class="ghost">|</span> <a href="#>10:30am</a> <span class="ghost">|</span> <a href="#>11:00am</a> </div>

I need php script remove a href link change to like:

<?php

$page = preg_replace('/<div class\=[\"]showtimes[\"]\>(.*?)<\/div>/si','\\1',$page);

?>

<div class="showtimes"> 10:00am <span class="ghost">|</span> 10:30am <span class="ghost">|</span> 11:00am </div>


How I do remove a href link only in between div class?

PHP Code:

---

<?php
$page = <<<EOD
<div class="showtimes"> <a href="#">10:00am</a> <span class="ghost">|</span>
<a href="#">10:30am</a> <span class="ghost">|</span> <a href="#">11:00am</a> </div>
EOD;

echo "<h2>Before:</h2>\n$page";

function foo($matches)
{
   $result  = $matches[1];
   $result .= preg_replace('#<a\s[^>]*>(.*?)</a>#is', '$1', $matches[2]);
   $result .= $matches[3];
   return $result;
}
$regexp = '#(<div\s[^>]*class=[\'"]showtimes[\'"][^>]*>)(.*?)(</div>)#is';
$page = preg_replace_callback($regexp, 'foo', $page);

echo "<h2>After:</h2>\n$page";

However, that solution depends on the HTML being properly formatted, and nasty things can happen if it is not, such as when I copied and pasted your HTML that was missing the closing quotes in a couple of the href attributes. ;)

A more robust solution would be to use the DOM functions to find each div of class "showtimes" and then within them finding each each <a> element, going through contortions to get the text value of each <a>, removing the <a> element and inserting the text, but I'm way too lazy to do that for you right now. :)

It's worked! Perfect. Thank you very much! :)
