PHP Strip_Tags wont Strip meta data

[Sayian]

Hello , i have forums on my site and people are using Meta Refresh tags to re-direct the threads to other sites. I need to strip the meta tags from the forum post's but for some reason it's not striping the Meta tags. here is the code snippet , is thier somthing im doing wrong?

$tpl->assign(array('USERID' => $_SESSION[userid],
                   'U_NAME' => $u_name,
                   'REGISTERED' => $registered,
                   'LOCATION' => $location,
                   'POSTS' => $posts,
                   'REPLY_SUBJECT' => strip_tags($reply_subject, ''),
                   'THE_POST' => strip_tags($the_post1, '<img><b><u><i>'),

prior to that code you pasted, try this:

$the_post1 = preg_replace("/<meta[^>]*>/i", "", $the_post1);
