strip_tags() … replace tags by space rather than deleting them

Question

Do you know how to replace html tags with a space character using php?

If I display

strip_tags(\'
Foo
bar\');

Answer 1

You can try

$str = '
Foo
bar';
var_dump(replaceTag($str,array("h1"=>"div")));

Output

string '
Foo
bar' (length=17)

Function Used

function replaceTag($str,$tags) {
    foreach ( $tags as $old => $new )
        $str = preg_replace("~<(/)?$old>~", "<\\1$new>", $str);
    return $str;
}
