PHP removing html tags from string

Question

I have string:

Vers­lo cent­rai Lie­tu­vos ne­kil­no­ja­mo­jo turto plėt­ros aso­cia­ci­jos kon­kur­se  ...

Answer 1

Since your HTML is not properly formatted you could choose a preg_replace() approach:

$text = '
Vers­lo cent­rai Lie­tu­vos ne­kil­no­ja­mo­jo turto plėt­ros aso­cia­ci­jos kon­kur­se ... 
';
$content = preg_replace('/<[^>]*>/', '', $text); 
var_dump($content);
// string(108) "Vers­lo cent­rai Lie­tu­vos ne­kil­no­ja­mo­jo turto plėt­ros aso­cia­ci­jos kon­kur­se ... "

Codepad Example

On strip_tags() docs it says: Because strip_tags() does not actually validate the HTML, partial or broken tags can result in the removal of more text/data than expected.

Also second parameter is for $allowable_tags.
