how to remove html tags in php?

Question

i posted some data using tinymce (in a symfony project).while retrieving back how can i remove html tags? strip_tags not working..

Answer 1

The easies way is to use strip_tags but it's not very reliable. There is a very, very, VERY good project design specifically for this: HTML Purifier .

It battle-hardened, tested and very good. strip_tags is the easy, fast and go way, but it can miss out some malformated html that a browser will actually parse and execute.

Please, don't use regular expression to parse html!

Answer 2

Note that strip_tags returns a new string. It does not modify the original string, ie:

$html = '<p>Test</p>';
strip_tags($html); // Throws away the result, since you don't assign the return 
                   // value of the function to a variable

$stripped = strip_tags($html);
echo $stripped; // echos 'Test'

Answer 3

尝试这个：

echo strip_tags($this->getContent(ESC_RAW))

Answer 4

strip_tags(); you need to put what ever your $ is wrapped with html. ...........

Answer 5

You could use strip_tags :

strip_tags('your text or variable');

It should work in symfony. Make sure that you have done everything correctly.

Answer 6

When using Symfony, be sure to use the getRaw() function otherwise the text cannot be stripped from it's HTML code, for example:

$myText = $sf_data->getRaw('myVarContainingText');

Then use strip_tags() as such:

$myText = strip_tags( $sf_data->getRaw('myVarContainingText') );
