you can save poor tags from the strip_tags function by specifying the ones you want to keep in the second argument (from PHP 3.0.13 anyways)
eg. strip_tags($html, "<input>")
for multiple allowable tags, you use the slightly bizzare syntax of
strip_tags($html, "<input>, <select>");
hmm... what's wrong with an array? 🙂
hope this saves you some effort
