[Editor's note: Simpler solution, use get_html_tranlastion_table(), see examples in that manual entry] Didn't like how Example 3 worked for me: it substituted in text in the wrong places, removed carriage returns so lines ran together, and worst of all :) it's "&quote" should be """. This was closer: if ($argv[1]=="-f") { //Filename(s) passed in. foreach ($argv as $file) { if ($file=="-f") continue; $file_text = strip_tags(join('',file($file))); htmlchars2txt($file_text); } } else { //Text passed in. htmlchars2txt($argv[1]); } function htmlchars2txt($text) { $text = ereg_replace("&(quot|#34);","\"",$text); $text = ereg_replace("&(amp|#38);","&",$text); $text = ereg_replace("&(lt|#60);","<",$text); $text = ereg_replace("&(gt|#62);",">",$text); $text = ereg_replace("&(nbsp|#160);"," ",$text); $text = ereg_replace("&(iexcl|#161);",161,$text); $text = ereg_replace("&(cent|#162);",162,$text); $text = ereg_replace("&(pound|#163);",163,$text); $text = ereg_replace("&(copy|#169);",169,$text); $text = ereg_replace("?([0-9]{1,3});","\\1",$text); //$text = preg_replace("/?([0-9]{1,3});/e","chr('\\1')",$text); Same as above line. echo $text; } // Example, from command line: // stripper.php -f /tmp/egascii.htm /tmp/tmpdata_.htm
