HTML code in my PHP

randall · February 18, 2012

I am sure this has been answered in the past and is a valid question, I have searched high and low for this solution on and off for a few months. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Please note: if you respond, keep it simple-ish - I code but not advanced.

First, take a look at the HTML source on the following page... Specificity the meta description.

http://boormanarchery.com/test.php?route=common/home&information_id=5

<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="Terms & Conditions - <p>

Terms & Conditions</p>

">

HTML code is pulled into the description field... I want to strip every single piece of HTML.

Here is my HTML / PHP code...


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password");
mysql_select_db("MyDatabase",$con);
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

// Get ID From URL
$id = (isset($_GET['information_id']) ? $_GET['information_id'] : 0);
$routeid = (isset($_GET['route']) ? $_GET['route'] : 0);

// Return Product Code and Select
$details = "SELECT * FROM information_description WHERE information_id=($id)";

$SQ_query = mysql_query($details);
$detail = mysql_fetch_array($SQ_query);

$metatitle = $detail['title'];
$longdescription = $detail['description'];

$metadescription=substr($longdescription, 0, 150);
$metakeywords=substr($longdescription, 0, 150); 

mysql_close($con);
?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Boorman Archery: <?php echo "$metatitle"; ?></title>
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="<?php echo "$metatitle"; ?> - <?php echo html_entity_decode($metadescription, ENT_QUOTES, "ISO-8859-1"); ?>">
<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="<?php echo "$metatitle"; ?> , archery, boorman, bows, arrows">
<META NAME="author" content="Randall Wright">
<META NAME="copyright" content="Boorman Archery">

Look at this manual entry: strip_tags.

randall · February 20, 2012

I will do a Paypal donate if u can fix this!! Please!

Thank you so much Pikachu2000, but after playing with your code and many other examples over the weekend, I can not get it right. I think I need a bit more of a hand with this...

I am begging, can someone please... The following example is just one of the MANY ways I have tried to remove all the unwanted junk. All I want left is readable text with absalutly no HTML, CSS, or strange things like... <p> As you can see below,....ARRRRRG!

I have tried strip_tags, htmlspecialchars, preg_replace, strrpos, str_replace, htmlentities, and I don't know how many more... I have tried to use arrays that others have built, and I think everything else I could find through a weekend of solid searching and testing.

<?php
$desc = $metadescription;
$match = array(
    "/<ref(?:[^\/&]|&(?!gt;))*\/>/is",
    "/<ref[^\/]*>(.*?)<\/ref>/s",);
$desc = preg_replace($match,'',$desc);
echo $desc;
?>

Output:

<p style="text-align: center; ">

<strong>The Staff of Boorman Archery</strong></p>

<p style="text-align:

Another Example:


function strip_html_tags( $uncleandescription )
{
    $uncleandescription = 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(
            ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',"$0", "$0", "$0", "$0", "$0", "$0","$0", "$0",), $uncleandescription );
  
    // you can exclude some html tags here, in this case B and A tags        
    return strip_tags( $uncleandescription , ' ' );
}

$description=substr($uncleandescription, 0, 150);

?>
<?php
echo strip_tags("Hello <b><i>world!</i></b>","<b>");
?>


<html>
<head>
<title>Boorman Archery: <?php echo strip_tags($metatitle); ?></title>
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="<?php echo strip_tags($metatitle); ?> - <?php echo strip_tags($description); ?>">

The problem is that <strong> isn't recognized as a tag. < and > are html entities until decoded with html_entity_decode.

$meta = '<p style="text-align: center; ">

   <strong>The Staff of Boorman Archery</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: ';

echo trim(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($meta)));

// RETURNS "The Staff of Boorman Archery"

Don't worry I will....I am transferring from my Canadian bank so it will take a few days extra. I have no problems paying for the odd bit of help especially when it goes to a forum like this!

Here is my latest...

I am still getting some of the bits like and some javascript is being pulled in as well... I now need to get rid of that pesky javascript as well. Below in the Description...

I am also wondering if anyone would be cleaning this up for me? I am sure there is a way to streamline the code. Thanks!!! - Unbanned?? I was never banned.
