----
the strip_tags() function in both php 4.3.8 and 5.0.2 (probably many more, but these are the only 2
versions I tested with) have a max tag length of 1024. If you're trying to process a tag over
this limit, strip_tags will not return that line (as if it were an illegal tag). I noticed this
problem while trying to parse a paypal encrypted link button (<input type="hidden"
name="encrypted" value="encryptedtext">, with <input> as an allowed
tag), which is 2702 characters long. I can't really think of any workaround for this other
than parsing each tag to figure out the length, then only sending it to strip_tags() if its under
1024, but at that point, I might as well be stripping the tags myself.
