Further to john780's idea for a solution to the 1024 character limit of strip_tags - it's a good one, but I think the ltrim function isn't the one for the job? I wrote this simple function to get around the limit (I'm a newbie, so there may be some problem / better way of doing it!): <? function strip_tags_in_big_string($textstring){ while (strlen($textstring) != 0) { $temptext = strip_tags(substr($textstring,0,1024)); $safetext .= $temptext; $textstring = substr_replace($textstring,'',0,1024); } return $safetext; } ?> Hope someone finds it useful. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52085 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52085&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52085&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52085&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52085&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52085&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52085&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
