#50664 [Opn]: Documentation should more clearly list actual behavior

ID: 50664 User updated by: deltascrewyoumail2 at spamplz dot hmx dot de -Reported By: deltaforce2 at gmx dot de +Reported By: deltascrewyoumail2 at spamplz dot hmx dot de Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: required field Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-05 00:04:37] deltascrewyoumail2 at spamplz dot hmx dot de Description: ------------ The Documentation for strip_tags() should mention that the function does not actually look for any html or php Tags but actually just searches for the "<" sign and removes everything from that Position until it encounters a ">" sign. If there is no ">" in the String the whole string will be cut from the Position of the "<" sign. Reproduce code: --------------- --- From manual page: function.strip-tags --- <?php $text = "This text has no HTML or PHP Tags and is <50 characters in total length but it wont be listed!"; echo strip_tags($text) . '<br/>'; $text = "This Text <span>Text has HTML Tags</span> and will be listed correctly."; echo strip_tags($text); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Both Text Variables to be returned completely with the exception of the <span> and </span> which are html tags. But thats another issue which I doubt will be fixed. So the Added Note in the Documentation should suffice. Actual result: -------------- This text has no HTML or PHP Tags and is This Text Text has HTML Tags and will be listed correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50664&edit=1
