note 86964 added to function.strip-tags

Hi. I made a function that removes the HTML tags along with their contents: Function: <?php function strip_tags_content($text, $tags = '', $invert = FALSE) { preg_match_all('/<(.+?)[\s]*\/?[\s]*>/si', trim($tags), $tags); $tags = array_unique($tags[1]); if(is_array($tags) AND count($tags) > 0) { if($invert == FALSE) { return preg_replace('@<(?!(?:'. implode('|', $tags) .')\b)(\w+)\b.*?>.*?</\1>@si', '', $text); } else { return preg_replace('@<('. implode('|', $tags) .')\b.*?>.*?</\1>@si', '', $text); } } elseif($invert == FALSE) { return preg_replace('@<(\w+)\b.*?>.*?</\1>@si', '', $text); } return $text; } ?> Sample text: $text = '<b>sample</b> text with <div>tags</div>'; Result for strip_tags($text): sample text with tags Result for strip_tags_content($text): text with Result for strip_tags_content($text, '<b>'): <b>sample</b> text with Result for strip_tags_content($text, '<b>', TRUE); text with <div>tags</div> I hope that someone is useful :) The exact explanation for Polish PHP programmers at http://www.tarnaski.eu/blog/rozszerzone-strip_tags/ ---- Server IP: 82.177.164.100 Probable Submitter: 62.141.244.141 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/86964 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86964/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86964/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86964/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86964/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86964/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86964/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86964 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/86964 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
