Bug #75971 [Com]: strip_tags removes incorrect part of string

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75971&edit=1 ID: 75971 Comment by: subjective@php.net Reported by: barahtyan at gmail dot com Summary: strip_tags removes incorrect part of string Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Strings related Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04 PHP Version: 7.1.14 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: strip_tags() is a pretty aggressive string function, not a "real" HTML/XML parser. So this should be the expected behavior: From the manual: Warning: Because strip_tags() does not actually validate the HTML, partial or broken tags can result in the removal of more text/data than expected.

Unfortunately, PHP removes all string after <------. I пуе "test " without <------ Test.
