Replace HTML using php -

i'm trying match section shown below , delete html file, have not been successful using regex , have little knowledge on how match section using php parser , replace it.

<table width='100%' class='print_only_wrapper'>       <thead class='print_only_header'>            <tr>              <td align='right' class='print_only_wrapper'>               text              </td>            </tr>        </thead>        <tbody>            <tr>              <td> 

this have tried search string , replace it

if(preg_match("/<thead/", $html)) {  $string_2_replace="/(<table width='100%' class='print_only_wrapper'>)\s+(<thead class='print_only_header'><tr><td align='right' class='print_only_wrapper'>).+(</td></tr></thead>)\s+(<tbody><tr><td>)/";  $html = str_replace($string_2_replace, "", $html);  }  

its easy,

\w - matches alphabets special chars

\w - non alphabets without special chars

so try this

<table[^>]*?>[\w\w]*?<\/td>$ 

try on $string_2_replace.

then reply me...
