How to remove HTML Tags?

[Richard]

How can I remove the HTML tags from my string? Please help, I would appreciate if you could provide the code.

You could use this code, it will solve your query.

$newstring=strip_tags($oldstring);

Thanks for your prompt help on this, however the above code strips all the characters out from between the tags as well. Is there a code by which i can retain that.

I found the below script in one of the forum I participate normally, hope this is useful:

// If I take the end tag off of the following line, the only word displayed is This
$subject = 'This <script Inside the karats> can be seen';
$tag_string = $subject;
$comments = 'This is the comments .. <script window.open><This is not seen>This is seen.';

$subject = strip_tags($tag_string, "<script");
$comments = strip_tags($comments, "<script");

echo 'Check out Subject .. no Karats ' . $subject ;
echo '<br />';
echo '<br />';
echo 'Check out Comments .. no Karats ' . $comments ;

Thanks. Example of PHP site:

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

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