strip_tags()

strip_tags()

function strip_tags(string $string, array|string|null $allowed_tags = null): string

Strips HTML and PHP tags from a string. Optional $allowed_tags is a string like "<p><a>" or an array of tag names. Weak callers also coerce scalars and Stringable objects; strict callers require array|string|null.

Parameters:

• $string (string)
• $allowed_tags (array|string|null), default null, optional

Returns: string

Availability

• Compiled (AOT): supported by the Elephc code generator.
• eval() (magician interpreter): supported through a declarative interpreter builtin (crates/elephc-magician/src/interpreter/builtins/string/strip_tags.rs).

Examples:

echo strip_tags("<p>Hello <b>World</b></p>");

echo strip_tags("<p>Hello <b>World</b></p>", "<p>");

echo strip_tags("<p>Hello <b>World</b></p>", ["p"]);
