PHP - Strip_tags Help

So I am doing a script to read some emails coming into an address that I have piped to it.  Done this before and had success.  Problem now is strip_tags.  Trying to remove some spurious html codes in the email the easy way or so I thought.  What's happening is this   A line that contains an email address such as this:   From: <user@domain.com>   is being stripped out to this:   From: &lt;user@domain.com&gt;   I thought that strip_tags would just strip out the < and > chars but it is not.  Any ideas?

Ok, I'm stumped on this one.

I'm looking to strip html code from the following output:

Code: [Select]
<?php echo substr($f7,0,60); ?>
How do I insert the strip_tags into that statement?

Heya


I have a problem with stripping HTML from some text with strip_tags. I am in the unfortunate situation to be working on a system where the previous developer loved to throw HTML, CSS and JavaScript straight into the database and not filter it when extracting it. Therefore, I need to filter some of the crap he threw in.

Here is some code:

$details = Person::getPersonDetails($id); // Returns MySQL object data set (I know!) from mysql_fetch_object
echo strip_tags($details->description); // I want to remove HTML from the description property, but the HTML is still displayed after using strip_tags


Any ideas? Thanks!

Hey guys!

I tried to use strip_tags() on this string, but the function will return a null-string for some reason?
Any idea why, and any suggestion how to solve this?
$string = '<Word.Bookmark.Start" w:name="a"/><w:p><w:pPr><w:jc w:val="center"/><w:rPr><w:sz w:val="16"/><w:sz-cs w:val="16"/></w:rPr></w:pPr><w:r><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:ascii="Arial" w:h-ansi="Arial" w:cs="Arial"/><wx:font wx:val="Arial"/><w:b/><w:highlight w:val="light-gray"/></w:rPr><w:t>Engagerad</w:t></w:r><aml:annotation aml:id="0" w:type="Word.Bookmark.End>';

echo strip_tags($string); // returns nothing, nada...


thank you

Hi, I'm having problems with a PHP mail handler and everything seems to be working fine except I get slashes in the message body from the form. If my input is "Please don't delete this" I get "Please don/'t delete this" in the message body, however it is striping the other tags. I'm not sure what is wrong and was hoping for a bit of help to figure this out.

Here is the code:
Code: [Select]
<?php
$owner_email = $_POST["owner_email"];
$headers = 'From:' . $_POST["email"];
$subject = 'Website contact inquiry from ' . $_POST["name"];
$messageBody = "";

$messageBody .= '<p>------------------ Contact Details ------------------' . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<p>Name: ' . $_POST["name"] . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<p>Email Address: ' . $_POST['email'] . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<p>Phone Number: ' . $_POST['phone'] . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<p>----------------------------------------------------------' . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<p>' . $_POST['message'] . '</p>' . "\n";

if($_POST["stripHTML"] == 'true'){
$messageBody = strip_tags($messageBody);
}

try{
if(!mail($owner_email, $subject, $messageBody, $headers)){
throw new Exception('mail failed');
}else{
echo 'mail sent';
}
}catch(Exception $e){
echo $e->getMessage() ."\n";
}
?>
