louis_coetzee Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 hi everyone, did not know what to make the subject, but here is what I want to do: I have a string, which gets returned to me from a linux app on my server, it looks something like this: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="CONTENT-TYPE" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <TITLE> </TITLE> <META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="OpenOffice.org 3.2 (Linux)"> <META NAME="AUTHOR" CONTENT="Administrator"> <META NAME="CREATED" CONTENT="20110106;14170000"> <META NAME="CHANGEDBY" CONTENT="HOD"> <META NAME="CHANGED" CONTENT="20110522;16540000"> <STYLE TYPE="text/css"> <!-- @page { margin: 0.26in } P { margin-bottom: 0.15in; direction: ltr; color: #000000; line-height: 0.15in; text-align: justify; widows: 2; orphans: 2 } P.western { font-family: "Arial", sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; so-language: en-US } P.cjk { font-family: "Batang", "바탕", serif; font-size: 10pt } P.ctl { font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; so-language: ar-SA } A:link { color: #0000ff } --> </STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY LANG="en-US" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#0000ff" DIR="LTR" STYLE="border: 5.05pt double #000000; padding: 0.67in 0.92in"> <P>I want this and the tags around it, just not the html, head, body and their closing tags.</P> </BODY> </HTML> within the body, the tags are each styled for example: <p style="color: red"></p> so I cannot just get rid of all html, I want to get only all the content within the body tags, but without the body tags obviously strip_tags does not work as i need, I only want to strip certain tags. If someone can help me with this i will much appreciate it.

AyKay47 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 strip_tags allows a second argument with a list of allowable tags, all other tags not listed in the second argument will be stripped.
