forumnz Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I have text from a database that is riddled with unwanted code. As seen below. How can I remove all but the text? Here is an example of what is there: <div><font size="4">Brand New Item With Tags</font></div><div><font size="4"></font></div><div><font size="4">This item is a Brand New Abercrombie and Fitch Women's Yellow Hoody size Medium.</font></div><div><font size="4"></font></div><div><font size="4">Authentic vintage inspired sportswear and sexy effortless style combine to create a signture American brand with timeless appeal.</font></div><div><font size="4"></font></div><div><font size="4">Size diamentions are as follows: front underarm chest 48 cm, shoulder to waist 61cm, underarm to sleave 56cm</font></div><div><font size="4">This style is tight fitting so please pay close attention to the measurements for a good fit.</font></div><div><font size="4"></font></div><div><font size="4">Please feel free to ask any questions about this sweater.</font></div> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/141364-strip-from-text/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Baker Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Try a combination of html_entity_decode() to revert <div> back to <div> then striptags() Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/141364-strip-from-text/#findComment-739924 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tronicsmasta Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I am curious on why you put all those HTML tags into your database in the first place... $dbstring = "<div><font size="4">Brand New Item With Tags</font></div><div><font size="4"></font></div><div><font size="4">This item is a Brand New Abercrombie and Fitch Women's Yellow Hoody size Medium.</font></div><div><font size="4"></font></div><div><font size="4">Authentic vintage inspired sportswear and sexy effortless style combine to create a signture American brand with timeless appeal.</font></div><div><font size="4"></font></div><div><font size="4">Size diamentions are as follows: front underarm chest 48 cm, shoulder to waist 61cm, underarm to sleave 56cm</font></div><div><font size="4">This style is tight fitting so please pay close attention to the measurements for a good fit.</font></div><div><font size="4"></font></div><div><font size="4">Please feel free to ask any questions about this sweater.</font></div>"; $decodedwithHTML = html_entity_decode($dbstring, ENT_QUOTES ); $completelydecoded = strip_tags($decoded); --= edit for mistake =-- Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/141364-strip-from-text/#findComment-739934 Share on other sites More sharing options...

premiso Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Try it without the ENT_QUOTES option. <?php $dbstring = "<div><font size="4">Brand New Item With Tags</font></div><div><font size="4"></font></div><div><font size="4">This item is a Brand New Abercrombie and Fitch Women's Yellow Hoody size Medium.</font></div><div><font size="4"></font></div><div><font size="4">Authentic vintage inspired sportswear and sexy effortless style combine to create a signture American brand with timeless appeal.</font></div><div><font size="4"></font></div><div><font size="4">Size diamentions are as follows: front underarm chest 48 cm, shoulder to waist 61cm, underarm to sleave 56cm</font></div><div><font size="4">This style is tight fitting so please pay close attention to the measurements for a good fit.</font></div><div><font size="4"></font></div><div><font size="4">Please feel free to ask any questions about this sweater.</font></div>"; $decodedwithHTML = html_entity_decode($dbstring); $completelydecoded = strip_tags($decodedwithHTML); echo $completelydecoded; die(); ?> I tested the above code and it worked for me. EDIT: It also works with the ENT_QUOTES on m system, just an FYI.

kenrbnsn Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 The code above does not leave any tags. Check your code. Ken Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/141364-strip-from-text/#findComment-739999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
