I've got a web app (in Perl) that strips most HTML from a message in an input box, stores it on the server, and then retrieves it later for the user. I was wondering what the best way to do the whole "strip HTML" thing would be in PHP. Any one know?

PHP does have a regex engine that you should be able to use, or you could handle it yourself with the substr() function, which is just like the one in perl. Those are the options I know of, but I'm still very much learning php.

striptags() or some such.... check the PHP manual under "string functions".

(delayed reaction)

Yep, that's the one! Thanks.
