PHP Help Please, Removing Characters From A String
-----------------------------------
Hi Guys

I have a string eg 

"
19/07 07:54  BORDERS : Red-backed Shrike, St. Abbs Head NNR  [R]
male at the lighthouse garden and showing well yesterday afternoon [color=#ff000c](18/07)[/color]

19/07 07:56  ABERDEENSHIRE : Grey Phalarope, Loch of Strathbeg RSPB  [R]
no sign at Starnafin Farm but adult Mediterranean Gull, 6 Little Gulls, Ruff and 30+ Great Skuas north

19/07 07:58  ANGUS & DUNDEE : Ruddy Shelduck, Montrose Basin  [R]
two still at The Lurgies; also 2 Green Sandpipers and 10 Greenshank [color=#ff0026](18/07)[/color]



I want to remove the areas in RED, how can i do it



What i have is a script that watches for an email and breaks the message part ready for uploading to an mysql database for displaying on a website. it works but the bits in red i want to strip out 

Any ideas how using PHP i can remove these areas in the large string ?

regards
