gzgetss

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

gzgetss — Get line from gz-file pointer and strip HTML tags

Warning

This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.3.0, and REMOVED as of PHP 8.0.0. Relying on this function is highly discouraged.

gzgetss(resource $zp, int $length, string $allowable_tags = ?): string

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

zp: The gz-file pointer. It must be valid, and must point to a file successfully opened by gzopen().
length: The length of data to get.
allowable_tags: You can use this optional parameter to specify tags which should not be stripped.

The uncompressed and stripped string, or false on error.

Example #1 gzgetss() example

<?php
$handle = gzopen('somefile.gz', 'r');
while (!gzeof($handle)) {
   $buffer = gzgetss($handle, 4096);
   echo $buffer;
}
gzclose($handle);
?>

Strange that php has such a specific function built in...
