PHP Code:

//find position of end carrot

//find out if there is string before first carrot
//if so save it in $tmpstring
$tmpStringBeg = @substr($string, 0, $currentBeg);
//find out if there is string after last carrot
//if so save it in $tmpStringEnd
$tmpStringEnd = @substr($string, $currentEnd + 1, strlen($string));
//cut the tag from the string
$string = $tmpStringBeg.$tmpStringEnd;
}
