note 24114 added to function.strip-tags

this works better i think: $trans = array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES)); //strip nonbreaking space, strip php tags, strip html tags, convert html entites, strip extra white space $search_clean = array("%&nbsp;%i", "%<\?.*\?>%Usi", "%<[\/]*[^<>]*>%Usi", "%(\&[a-zA-Z0-9\#]+;)%es", "%\s+%"); $replace_clean = array(" ", "", "", "strtr('\\1',\$trans)", " "); $clean = preg_replace($search_clean, $replace_clean, $text_to_clean); -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+24114 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+24114 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+24114
