Filter just one html tag with php

Question

I have a php variable ( $string ) that contains a block of text (with html tags). What I want to do is filter just one tag: the <object></object> .

Haven't found any solution so far ...

You can use the DOMDocument::loadhtml to get the html from the $string you can use it like this :

<?php
    $DOM = new DOMDocument;
    //Parsing the string into html  
    @$DOM->loadHTML($string);
    //Getting all the elements with the <object> tag
    $objects = $DOM->getElementsByTagName("object");
?>
