[PHP] Strip HTML headers?

I am trying to write a PHP function to strip the headers off of an HTML head--basicallt everything from the <html> tag to the end of the <body> tag. Clearly some sort of regular expression, but I sure cant get it to work.

The PHP strip_tags() wont work because I need to preserve the HTML formatting in the rest of the page (bolding, hyperlinks, etc).

Essentially whats going to happen is users will upload HTML files, and I want to take those files and display just the data in them--the stuff between <body> and </body>. That is then going to get dumped into a template and served up with the default style for the site.

Thanks yall :)

There are any number of scripts out there that will open a remote HTML document and grab the content between a start point and an end point you specify. You may be able to lift the regular expression used from one of the scripts listed here:
