help using str_replace or something that works

[zPluGGy]

Ok, I can explain so some pplz understand me and some people won't
So here it goes

Is there any way I can use str replace so if text comes

"<strong>Team 1</strong><br>
<br>"

It replaces it with nothing
but if the text

"<strong>Team 1</strong><br>
Playername"

Comes, It doesn't do anything to it, so here's the code that shows Team *... blabla

foreach ($replay->Teams as $TeamID=>$Team) {
    $i++;

$thing = "<strong>Team ".$i."</strong><br>\n";
print $thing;
    foreach ($Team as $Player) {
        if ($Player['team'] !== 'Observer') { 
            echo "    <img src=\"big/".$Player[color]."/".$Player['race'].".jpg\" height=50>".$Player['nick']."<br>\n";
        } elseif ($Player['team']==='Observer') { 
            $observers[] = $Player;                  
    }
}echo "<br>\n";

}

I'm not exactly sure what you mean...

$thing="<strong>Team 1</strong><br><br>";
$finds = "/<strong>(.*)<br><br>/is";
$returned = preg_replace($finds,"",$thing);

print $thing; // doesn't print anything

I think I understand your question, but I don't see how your code reflects your question.

It prints off the first line, but it doesn't print Playername on the next. It either prints off a picture and then the player's nickname and a <br>, or nothing (elseif).

Are you referring to the case where the $Team array is empty, and so only that final <br> is printed? In that case, I would do the following:

if(sizeof($Team) != 0) {
 print $thing;
 .
 .
 .
 echo "<br>\n";
} 

I'm also not sure about your use of double and triple equal signs...

Let me know if that's not what you mean.
