Stripping HTML Tags

[Anon]

Hey there,

I was wondering if there was a command or series of commands that would strip HTML tags submitted to form based application such as a guest book or message board?

Thanks for any help.

strip_tags(string);

You can run this function on the string variable:
string htmlspecialchars (string string)

The documentation is here:
http://www.php.net/manual/function.htmlspecialchars.php

This function will actually remove the HTML tags rather than convert the characters:
string strip_tags (string str [, string allowable_tags])

The documentation is here:
http://www.php.net/manual/function.strip-tags.php

will this function also strip php tags as well

If you use the htmlspecialchars() function, it would make the PHP code useless, but it would still be there.

You could use a regex to strip php code like this:
$string = htmlspecialchars($string)
$string = ereg_replace( "(&lt😉(\?)(php)(.|\n)*(\?)(&gt😉", "", $string);

(I didn't test the regex, so it may have errors in it)
