Strange that php has such a specific function built in...
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
gzgetss — Get line from gz-file pointer and strip HTML tags
$zp
, int $length
[, string $allowable_tags
] )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);
?>
