Re: Ridding myself of HTML tags

have a look at peg_replace in the man, you could also get your users to save as filtered html which get rid of some of it, there's also a MS tool "Microsoft Office HTML Filter 2" that will clean it some more, it says it's for word 2000 but it works fine for word 2002/XP. but your best option is to use preg_replace to swap out all the "smart tags" etc. Paul Roberts http://www.paul-roberts.com mail@paul-roberts.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++ ----- Original Message ----- From: "DL Neil" <PHPml@DandE.HomeChoice.co.uk> To: <Liam.Gibbs@dfait-maeci.gc.ca>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Saturday, August 31, 2002 12:02 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Ridding myself of HTML tags > Liam, > If you were to stristr()/remove everything up to and including the </head> > tag, would that take care of things? > =dn > > > > I've got a lil problem with HTML tags.
