Striping html?

[Thy Gamer]

Is there any way I can strip html with out useing, strip_tags($tempinput) ???
It messes up my code for some odd reason,

[code]<?php
$tempinput = "LOL PANTS javascript SELECT * FROM";
SafeGurad($tempinput);

function SafeGurad($tempinput) {
$tempinput = strip_tags($tempinput)
$tempinput = str_replace("%20","","$tempinput");
$tempinput = addslashes("$tempinput");
$tempinput = str_replace("javascript","No_Java_Script_Aloud!","$tempinput");
$tempinput = str_replace("</script>","No_Script_Aloud!","$tempinput");
$tempinput = str_replace("<script>","No_Script_Aloud!","$tempinput");
$tempinput = str_replace("SELECT * FROM","No_SQL_Script_Aloud!","$tempinput");
return $tempinput;
}
Echo $lol;
php?>
[/code]

If you really hate strip_tags(), you could replace < and > with &lt's and &gt's. This stops any scripts from running, and any markup from rendering, but doesn't change the appearance.

So something like this?

[code]$tempinput = str_replace("<","&lt","$tempinput");
$tempinput = str_replace(">","&gt","$tempinput");[/code]
