Check this I think this may help you... 

<?php
function remove($string) {
  $patterns = array();
  $patterns[0] = '/http:\/\/www.badsite.com/';
  $patterns[1] = '/http:\/\/www.viagra.com/';
  $patterns[2] = '/badsite.com/';
  $patterns[3] = '/viagra.com/';



  $replacements = array();
  $replacements[0] = '**Remove**';
  $replacements[1] = '**Remove**';
  $replacements[2] = '**Remove**';
  $replacements[3] = '**Remove**';

  echo preg_replace($patterns, $replacements, $string);
}

$string = "This is my url http://www.badsite.com and one more dirty site http://www.viagra.com one good site http://www.google.com";

remove($string);
?>

Output -

This is my url Remove and one more dirty site Remove one good site http://www.google.com

Try this

preg_replace('@<a[^<>]*href="(?:http://|https://)(?:badsite\.com|viagra\.com)[^"]*"[^<>]*>@Uis', '', $str);

But the best way for this is not using regex, and using DOM
