[SOLVED] Functions

[.Darkman]

Hello all,

 

I am new to PHP.

 

I used this to create a function

function html_parse($str)
{
strip_tags($str, '<b><i><u><s><a><img><br>');
}

 

And i used the function as :

				$comment = $_POST['comment'];
			$comment = html_parse($comment);

 

It didn't work.

 

Could some one tell me how to do it ?

 

 

 

Thanks,

You need to return a value from the function for it to affect a variable outside it's scope.

<?php
function html_parse($str)
{
return(strip_tags($str, '<b><i><u><s><a><img><br>'));
}
?>

Oh thanks,

 

While i was posting a reply, you posted one.

Very quick thanks.

 

i corrected myself and used this :

function html_parse($str)
{
$var = strip_tags($str, '<b><i><u><s><a><img><br>');
        return $var;
}

 

Anyway, yours seems smaller.

 

 

Thanks,
