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. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48364 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48364&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48364&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48364&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48364&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48364&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48364&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48364&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
