[SOLVED] trying to strip all HTML, tags and text between the tags...

[mtlhd]

Hey all,

 

I am trying to export a cleaned CSV list (text file format) stripped of all HTML.

What is between the tags as well. 

 

Of course, I can get this to work, it is a combo of my code and someone else and it displays the contents with no change.

 

Where did I go wrong?

 

 

function removeHTML(){

		$text = file_get_contents("../uploads/workfile.txt");

		 /**
		 * Remove HTML tags, including invisible text such as style and
		 * script code, and embedded objects.  Add line breaks around
		 * block-level tags to prevent word joining after tag removal.
		 */
		 function strip_html_tags(){
		    $text = preg_replace(
		        array(
		          // Remove invisible content
		            '@<head[^>]*?>.*?</head>@siu',
		            '@<style[^>]*?>.*?</style>@siu',
		            '@<script[^>]*?.*?</script>@siu',
		            '@<object[^>]*?.*?</object>@siu',
		            '@<embed[^>]*?.*?</embed>@siu',
		            '@<applet[^>]*?.*?</applet>@siu',
		            '@<noframes[^>]*?.*?</noframes>@siu',
		            '@<noscript[^>]*?.*?</noscript>@siu',
		            '@<noembed[^>]*?.*?</noembed>@siu',
		          // Add line breaks before and after blocks
		            '@</?((address)|(blockquote)|(center)|(del))@iu',
		            '@</?((div)|(h[1-9])|(ins)|(isindex)|(p)|(pre))@iu',
		            '@</?((dir)|(dl)|(dt)|(dd)|(li)|(menu)|(ol)|(ul))@iu',
		            '@</?((table)|(th)|(td)|(caption))@iu',
		            '@</?((form)|(button)|(fieldset)|(legend)|(input))@iu',
		            '@</?((label)|(select)|(optgroup)|(option)|(textarea))@iu',
		            '@</?((frameset)|(frame)|(iframe))@iu',
		        ),
		        array(
		            ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',
		            "\n\$0", "\n\$0", "\n\$0", "\n\$0", "\n\$0", "\n\$0",
		            "\n\$0", "\n\$0",
		        ),
		        $text );
		    return strip_tags( $text );
		}		
		echo $text;	
	}

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Before the line:

echo $text;

add a line that reads:

$text=strip_html_tags($text);
