note 52173 deleted from function.strip-tags by danbrown

Note Submitter: bazzy ---- I think bryn and john780 are missing the point - eric at direnetworks wasn't suggesting there is an overall string limit of 1024 characters but rather that actual tags over 1024 characters long (eg, in his case it sounds like a really long encrypted <a href> tag) will fail to be stripped. The functions to slowly pass strings through strip_tags 1024 characters at a time aren't necessary and are actually counter productive (since if a tag spans the break point, ie it is opened before the 1024 characters and closed after the 1024 characters then only the opening tag is removed which leaves a mess of text up to the closing tag). Only mentioning this as I spent ages working out a better way to deal with this character spanning before I actually went back and read eric's post and realised the subsequent posts were misleading - hopefully it'll save others the same headaches :)
