How do i remove a specific html tag from a string in php?

I guess you want to prevet XSS attacks, you shouldn't merely worry about script tags, someone might exploit it like this: test [this is a very basic way though].

If you only want the script tag, with no attributes, to be filtered:

str_replace[array['', ''], array['', ''], $str];

You should improve this using Regex; using preg_match'es and preg_replaces [or only preg_replaces] you can match and/or replace the script tag with its attributes. Or even have more protection against XSS.

Edit: or even a regex like /[.+]/ then store what between the brackets into a variable then print it.
