strip-tags

I use the strip_tags() function but I need to remove some tags (and all of their contents). for example : <div> <p class="test"> Test A </p> <span> Test B </span> <div> Test C </div> </div> Let's say, I need to get rid of the P and SPAN tags, and only keep : <div> <div> Test C </div> </div> strip_tags expects as a second parameter the tags that you want to KEEP. In this particular example I could use striptags($html, "<div>"); but the html I'm scraping and the tags that need to be removed are different all the time. I searched for hours for a function that suits my needs, but couldn't find

This question already has an answer here: strip_tags() … replace tags by space rather than deleting them 10 answers I have used strip_tags to remove html tags from the text.

Is there a known XSS or other attack that makes it past a $content = "some HTML code"; $content = strip_tags($content); echo $content; ? The manual has a warning: This function does not modify any attributes on the tags that you allow using allowable_tags, including the style and onmouseover attributes that a mischievous user may abuse when posting text that will be shown to other users. but that is related to using the allowable_tags parameter only. With no allowed tags set , is strip_tags() vulnerable to any attack? Chris Shiflett seems to say it's safe: Use Mature Solutions When possible,

I have a large database which contains records that have <a> tags in them and I would like to remove them. Of course there is the method where I create a PHP script that selects all, uses strip_tags and updates the database, but this takes a long time. So how can I do this with a simple (or complicated) MySQL query? I don't believe there's any efficient way to do this in MySQL alone. MySQL does have a REPLACE() function, but it can only replace constant strings, not patterns. You could possibly write a MySQL stored function to search for and replace tags, but at that point you're probably

I have been using CKEditor for some time and it has worked great. I've pretty much gotten rid of any problems that ive had but this one i cant seem to figure out. When i add inline attributes to elements for instance style = "color: #ff0;" on a <p></p> tag they are stripped out when i switch from wysiwyg to source view. No saving or submission is done and ckeditor is has been added to my site which is my own script. Any ideas as to what would cause this. All of the search results i can find correspond to this happening in Drupal but Drupal seems to be the problem not the editor in all
