note 50608 added to function.strip-tags

What if you want to strip HTML tags, but not PHP tags? I can't get it to work. I've tried setting allowable_tags to "<?", "<?>", "<??>", "<?php", "<?php?>" , nothing works. Any ideas, or does this need to be a feature request/bug? ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50608 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50608&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50608&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50608&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50608&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50608&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50608&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
