PHP Strip_Tags() ?

[Solarpitch]

Hey Guys,

 

I am here trying loads of different strip tags functions to format the text from the database the way I want, but it doesnt seem to be working.

 

If you look at the below example. The bottom images shows how the text is currently been pulled and displayed from the database. I am looking to just format it as normal text when its been displayed in the result. If anyone can point me to a function that works, that would be great

Hi,

 

Here's the code I am using at the min. I need to format the font the same size also but I take it removing any style tags should do this...

 

function strip_html_tags( $text )
{
    $text = 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(
            ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',
            "\n\$0", "\n\$0", "\n\$0", "\n\$0", "\n\$0", "\n\$0",
            "\n\$0", "\n\$0",
        ),
        $text );
    return strip_tags( $text );
}

Ive also tried this from the PHP manual..


[code]

$text = '<p>Test paragraph.</p><!-- Comment --> <a href="#fragment">Other text</a>';
echo strip_tags($text);
echo "\n";

// Allow <p> and <a>
echo strip_tags($text, '<p><a>');
