RE: [PHP] ereg() violence

Here's a function that I found to strip text, you might need to get rid of the entry for html tags, and then do a preg_replace on some href stuff. function _striptext($document) { // I didn't use preg eval (//e) since that is only available in PHP 4.0. // so, list your entities one by one here. I included some of the // more common ones. $search = array("'<script[^>]*?>.*?</script>'si", // strip out javascript "'<[\/\!]*?[^<>]*?>'si", // strip out html tags "'([\r\n])[\s]+'", // strip out white space "'&(quote|#34);'i", // replace html entities "'&(amp|#38);'i", "'&(lt|#60);'i", "'&(gt|#62);'i", "'&(nbsp|#160);'i", "'&(iexcl|#161);'i", "'&(cent|#162);'i", "'&(pound|#163);'i", "'&(copy|#169);'i" ); $replace = array( "", "", "\\1", "\"", "&", "<", ">", " ", chr(161), chr(162), chr(163), chr(169)); $text = preg_replace($search,$replace,$document); return $text; } > -----Original Message----- > From: Jesse Binam [mailto:sirbinam@xmission.com] > Sent: Wednesday, 8 November 2000 15:51 > To: Maxim Maletsky; php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] ereg() violence > > > Maxim - > > I appreciate your feedback. > my understanding of this thusfar is that it turns html tags > into text by > replacing characters like < with &gt; > Am I wrong? > > What I am doing is making a mailing list app. When the author > write the > message they will choose whether > the message is text or html.
