Allow Some HTML tags

Anon

I am building a website for users to enter stories and want to allow certain html tags, like <b>, <i>, <UL>, <LI> and a few others, also I want a way to allow links as well

Does anyone have a function written to do this?

Right now, I just use htmlspecialchars to get rid of all html tags

note: I am stuff in the doldrums of PHP3 b/c my host sucks, so don't bombard me with php4 stuff (though recommending a cheap, reliable PHP4 host would be nice)

Goto the following page:

http://www.php.net/strip_tags

that should give you your answer !

Hope that helps

You don't mention which revision of PHP3 you're stuck with, but starting with PHP 3.0.13 strip_tags() supports a second argument which is a comma-separated list of tags to allow. I've used it w/ PHP 3.0.14 and found it works just fine (once I figured out that you use commas to separate the tags--the docs didn't say, at least not those early versions.)

Regards,

in web form you can easily put some HTML tags in form fields.

For example, if the field is <textarea> you can add HTML tags along with text, but watch out for "" (see Kirk's post).

It should be working just fine in PHP3.
