Re: strip_tags() problem

or instead of fopen, use: $fp = fsockopen("http://www.yahoo.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30) or die ("Could not connect to yahoo.com"); // wait for answer (replacement for deprecated set_socket_blocking) socket_set_blocking($fp, 1); i forgot to "die" in the example below, if connection could not be established. so $fp = fopen("http://www.yahoo.com", "r"); should be $fp = fopen("http://www.yahoo.com", "r") or die ("Could not connect"); or you get an endless while loop on the feof if connection fails.
