I think bryn and john780 are missing the point - eric at direnetworks wasn't suggesting there
is an overall string limit of 1024 characters but rather that actual tags over 1024 characters long
(eg, in his case it sounds like a really long encrypted <a href> tag) will fail to be
stripped.
The functions to slowly pass strings through strip_tags 1024 characters at a time aren't
necessary and are actually counter productive (since if a tag spans the break point, ie it is opened
before the 1024 characters and closed after the 1024 characters then only the opening tag is removed
which leaves a mess of text up to the closing tag).
Only mentioning this as I spent ages working out a better way to deal with this character spanning
before I actually went back and read eric's post and realised the subsequent posts were
misleading - hopefully it'll save others the same headaches :)
