Re: remove html tags in text?

<new-more-constructive-way-of-saying-RTFM with-thanks-to="Richard Lynch"> obviously by now you know the function strip_tags(). given that your a university student don't you think we could expect a little more research ability on your part? I already knew the strip_tags() function but for fun I typed in an arbitrary search into google and look what popped up at position number one: http://www.google.com/search?&q=remove+tags+from+string+php attempting to solve your own problems before asking others for a solution is good for you both because it makes you more credible to those that might answer your question AND it will increase *your* understanding of the problem and solution - in short solving your own problems (or really trying to) will make you a better programmer. not to mention the satisfaction of doing it on your own. <new-more-constructive-way-of-saying-RTFM> :-) Bing Du wrote:

Hello everyone, Say, if I have a paragraph like this: == <h1>John Smith</h1> Dr. Smith is the directory of <a href="http://some.center.com">Some Center</a> . His research interests include <b>Wireless Security</b>.... == Any functions that can help remove all the HTML tags in it? What about just removing selected tags, like <b></b>? Thanks in advance for any ideas, Bing
