fgetss

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

fgetss — Gets line from file pointer and strip HTML tags

Description

string fgetss ( resource $handle [, int $length [, string $allowable_tags ]] )

Identical to fgets(), except that fgetss() attempts to strip any HTML and PHP tags from the text it reads.

Parameters

handle: The file pointer must be valid, and must point to a file successfully opened by fopen() or fsockopen() (and not yet closed by fclose()).
length: Length of the data to be retrieved.
allowable_tags: You can use the optional third parameter to specify tags which should not be stripped.

Return Values

Returns a string of up to length - 1 bytes read from the file pointed to by handle , with all HTML and PHP code striped.

If an error occurs, returns FALSE.

ChangeLog

Version	Description
5.0.0	The `length` parameter is optional
3.0.13 and 4.0.0	The `allowable_tags` parameter was added,

Notes

Note: If PHP is not properly recognizing the line endings when reading files either on or created by a Macintosh computer, enabling the auto_detect_line_endings run-time configuration option may help resolve the problem.
