how to remove html tags in php?
i posted some data using tinymce (in a symfony project).while retrieving back how can i remove html tags? strip_tags not working.. The easies way is to use strip_tags but it's not very reliable. There is a very, very, VERY good project design specifically for this: HTML Purifier . It battle-hardened, tested and very good. strip_tags is the easy, fast and go way, but it can miss out some malformated html that a browser will actually parse and execute. Please, don't use regular expression to parse html! Note that strip_tags returns a new string. It does not modify the original string, i.e: $html
