 New Comment:

This behaviour is documented:
"Because strip_tags() does not actually validate the HTML, partial, or
broken tags can result in the removal of more text/data than
expected."
Your HTML is undoubtfully broken.
See http://php.net/strip_tags

Description:
------------
When running strip_tags on a string containing '<<', the string is
truncated at the '<<'.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$test = "testing << testing testing 1 2 3";
print(strip_tags($test));
?>



Expected result:
----------------
Probably should return the complete string eg:

testing << testing testing 1 2 3

At the worst I would have expected it without the << but certainly
containing the rest.

Actual result:
--------------
testing
