#27361 [Opn->Fbk]: strip_tags() doesn't fail on incomplete tag if there is non-html output before.

ID: 27361 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: stu-php at better dot domain dot name -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Strings related Operating System: Windows Server 2003 PHP Version: 5.0.0b4 (beta4) New Comment: Explain in one line what the bug is then...I don't see it either. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-23 16:36:36] stu-php at better dot domain dot name This is NOT a bogus bug. Just because the MAIN functionality of the function is there does not mean that there is not a bug here. The function behaves in an unexpected manner. That is a bug. If the documentation contradicts the actual function then something needs to be fixed. Either the documentation or the function code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-23 13:54:24] sniper@php.net Try outputting the actual result of the strip_tags() and you'll see that it works perfectly. (strip_tags() is not any validator...whatever the docs say) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-23 05:18:33] stu-php at better dot domain dot name Description: ------------ I have discovered that strip_tags() does not fail with an error if used on a string with an incomplete tag IF there is any non-tag text BEFORE the incomplete tag. Reproduce code: --------------- http://better.domain.name/php/strip.php There's a link to the source on the page above showing the bug. Expected result: ---------------- I would expect strip_tags() to fail if there is an incomplete html tag in the string passed to it, regardless of other input before, or after, the tag. "This function tries to return a string with all HTML and PHP tags stripped from a given str. It errors on the side of caution in case of incomplete or bogus tags." - http://php.net/strip_tags Actual result: -------------- Only errors if there is no plain text before the broken tag. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27361&edit=1
