Using preg_replace in mysql

Question

I have a CMS content in database. The content contains '<img src= .............../>' also. I want to retrieve this content using mysql query and show on frontend but with all '<img src='.........../>' removed from the content.

How can it be done using query in mysql?

Answer 1

Once you install lib_mysqludf_preg you'll be able to use various regex functions in MySQL. See the docs on that page to find out more about them.
