match and replace using php

Question

I have a html file that contains urls that start with ftps, http, https, mms, ed2k.. and in certain paragraphs. I need to sort these links and remove all the links that start with mms://. I tried preg_replace but it doesnt work coz many links are too long. can someone suggest a good method to remove the links using php?

Answer 1

I didn't understand why preg_replace didn't work, length should not be an issue.

Try this

preg_replace("/mms:\/\/(.*?)\s/is", "", $string);
