OK. So I played a bit more and added some more code revision to get rid of the NWS hyperlink at the bottom of the RSS Description. This way, it only gives the description and not the hyperlink (which does not work anyway and says a href=http.....)
$newstring=str_replace(''', '\'', $what); //replace those half valid apostrophe entities with actual apostrophes
$newstring=preg_replace('|<br>|s', "<br>", $newstring); // return <br> to HTML form
$newstring=preg_replace("|(a href=http://\S*)|s","", $newstring); // remove NWS hyperlink to clean up display
$newstring=preg_replace("|< Weather Forecast Office Homepage\S*|s","<p>", $newstring); // remove remaining NWS reference stuff to clean up display
I needed to do it by two more lines...there is probably a better way to do it if Ken wants to chime in....but this is how I was able to get it to work.
