Newbie...yet determined...

Greetings,

I am fairly new to the PHP world...so my knowledge on advanced techniques is fairly limited.

I have an HTML document that is auto-generated based off data stored in a MySQL database.

I need to figure out a way (there is always a way!! just not always an obvious one..) to create a PHP script that will grab this HTML doc, strip out all the HTML tags, and then write the output to another HTML file. (And if possible, preformat the output before writing to the new doc.)

I created a script that already strips out certain data from the HTML doc, but it still retains the HTML tags...and I need those gone as well.

My apologies if this is easier than I am trying to make it out to be...

Any help is greatly appreciated!

strip_tags($string) without a second argument will give you raw text sans any <> tags AND sans > tags, so watch that...but if you use &nb; or whatever the > is, you'll have no problems with strip_tags
