#27021 [Bgs]: strip_tags eliminates content in HTML comments

ID: 27021 User updated by: mderk at yandex dot ru Reported By: mderk at yandex dot ru Status: Bogus Bug Type: Strings related Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: I found an old script that had relied on the old behavior (which was "strip everything between &lt; and &gt;", e.g. http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15160) and broken under PHP 4.3.4. I would think of it at least as a documentation problem, not bogus. Don't you think that every php developer in the World would read this message to answer your question, even if he gets in trouble with the new behavior? The things that break BC should at least be documented. But there's no a word even in the Changes file.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Who the heck gets in trouble with the new behaviour? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-23 10:43:10] mderk at yandex dot ru Description: ------------ <?php $str = '<!--b>here!</b-->'; print strip_tags($str); ?> in PHP 4.2.2 it outputs 'here!'. in PHP 4.3.4 it outputs nothing. Maybe it should be treated as the right behavior, but it is definitely a BC violation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27021&edit=1
