strip_tags() allowed parameters

[ShaolinF]

Hi Guys

 

I am using strip_tags() to remove unwanted html. I am using the allowed tags param to add all the tags which are acceptable. The problem is I would like most HTML tags in the allowed tags parameter but it'll be too long to just add all of them. Is there a shortcut ?

Perhaps instead use regex to remove these tags you wish to have removed.

any examples ? I would still have to specify each tag that needs to be removed so it adds up ..?

well, you can't have it both ways.  either you gotta type in the ones that are allowed or the ones that aren't.

 

<?php
function strip_some_tags($input)
{
$search = array(
	'@<script[^>]*?>.*?</script>@si',   // Strip javascript
	'@<[\/\!]*?[^<>]*?>@si',            // Strip out HTML tags
	'@<style[^>]*?>.*?</style>@siU',    // Strip style tags properly
	'@<b[^>]*?>.*?</b>@siU',    		// Strip <b> tags
	'@<a[^>]*?>.*?</a>@siU',    		// Strip <a> tags
	'@<![\s\S]*?--[ \t\n\r]*>@'         // Strip multi-line comments
);

    $input = preg_replace($search, '', $input);

    return $input;
}
?>

 

function strips tags from inputted content.
