Note Submitter: mehul dot g12 at gmail dot com ---- Strip tags doesn't work fine if we have '<' symbol in the string followed immediately by any letter. but it doed work fine if there is a space after '<' symbol. e.g. <?php strip_tags('<p>1<4</p>'); //won't work fine strip_tags('<p>1 < 4</p>'); //will work fine ?> to solve this problem, I used a simple logic. This code will replace '<' by html char, if it not a part of html tag. My version of strip_tags is as follow: <?php function my_strip_tags($str) { $strs=explode('<',$str); $res=$strs[0]; for($i=1;$i<count($strs);$i++) { if(!strpos($strs[$i],'>')) $res = $res.'&lt;'.$strs[$i]; else $res = $res.'<'.$strs[$i]; } return strip_tags($res); } ?>
