Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-25 23:09:32] kjackson@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca oops, did not escape dollar signs. Doing so does not effect results. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-25 23:06:05] kjackson@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca This bug causes strip_tags to stop stripping php tags, if your string contains the following in a <?php?> delimiter. "title = "([^"]+)"" Example: echo strip_tags(" aghh1 <?PHP if (eregi("title = \"([^\"]+)", $x, $y)) echo "foobar"; ?> aghh2 "); will result in only aghh1 being reported when aghh2 should clearly be as well --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
