PHP: How to get only text from variable?

how can i get only text data from the table? Without any links and images?

    while ($row = $most_rep->fetch_assoc()) {
    $post_title = $row['post_title'];
    $post_content = mb_substr($row['post_content'],0,120);
    $guid = $row['guid'];
    $post_date = $row['post_date'];
    echo 
    "<a href='$guid' target='_blank'>"
    ."<div class='post_title'>$post_title</div>"."</a>"
    ."<a href='$guid' target='_blank'>"
    ."<div class='post_description'>$post_content</div>"
    ."<div class='post_date'>$post_date</div>"
    ."</a>";
}

Inside variable $post_content i have text and images and links from the post. I would like to echo only text.

Appreciate any help

Try this to remove everything except a-z, A-Z and 0-9:

$result = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+/", "", $s); If your definition of alphanumeric includes letters in foreign languages and obsolete scripts then you will need to use the Unicode character classes.

Try this to leave only A-Z:

$result = preg_replace("/[^A-Z]+/", "", $s); The reason for the warning is that words like résumé contains the letter é that won't be matched by this. If you want to match a specific list of letters adjust the regular expression to include those letters. If you want to match all letters, use the appropriate character classes as mentioned in the comments.

You can use PHP Filter Sanitization:

<?php
$str = "test";

$newstr = filter_var($str, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
echo $newstr;
?>

use 'strip_tags' function

http://php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php

for example ,

$only_text = strip_tags($post_content);

it is not the best practice but if you still insist using this kind of approach i suggest add some Delimiter to your data $row['post_content'] and use explode(" ",$row['post_content']) to get the specific text or value that you want.

Note: the explode function will return an array.
