strip_tags

Hi,
I'm having some problems with strip_tags function thing!
I use it several times so having to change the tags I want to allow each seperatly is annoying so I wanted to set which ones would be allowed in my confic.inc file, but it won't work! 🙁
This works:

$poster_message = strip_tags($myrow["poster_message"], '<a><b><i><u>');

This doesn't:

//config file
$html_allow = '<a><b><i><u>';


//page being used on
//striping
$poster_message = strip_tags($myrow["poster_message"], '$html_allow');

//being printed out
print "<div align=\"left\" class=\"comment2\">$poster_message</div>

Thanks

And what about this ?

//config file
$html_allow = '<a><b><i><u>';


//page being used on
//striping
$poster_message = strip_tags($myrow["poster_message"], $html_allow); //without quote

//being printed out
print "<div align=\"left\" class=\"comment2\">$poster_message</div>

Try...

$html_allow = '<a><b><i><u>';

$poster_message = strip_tags( $myrow['poster_message'], $html_allow );

print '<div align="left" class="comment2">' . $poster_message . '</div>';

I think

echo '<div align="left" class="comment2">' , $poster_message , '</div>';

is better than

print '<div align="left" class="comment2">' . $poster_message . '</div>';

Guess he favours using echo over print!?! Personally its all the same to me, I have no idea how there different!

Is one was faster than the other? Cause the page(a guestbook) I'm using this on, takes about 20 seconds to load and its on my computer!(I have a slow computer) So yea, if one is faster than the other that would be good to know cause it would save me lots of time LOL

using echo with the coma , is faster than using print with point . for the concat job
