fgetss

Name

fgetss — Reads a line from a file, stripping HTML and PHP tags.

Synopsis

string fgetss(file_handle, bytes); resource file_handle: File handle int bytes: Number of bytes to read

Returns

Current line; FALSE on error

Description

fgetss() is functionally like fgets() , except the line of text returned is parsed first and any HTML and PHP tags are removed. If a newline or EOF occurs before the number of byes specified is read, fgetss() returns the bytes read up to this point. This can be extremely useful when reading and processing lines of text from a file, pipe, or socket.

Warning

Because some of the filesystem functions to read/write from files partially share the same code, one or more of the bugs reported elsewhere may also apply to this function.

Example

Example 309. Dump a file, stripping all HTML and PHP tags

$fh = fopen("test.txt", "r");

while(!feof($fh))
{
    $output = fgetss($fh, 1024);
    echo ("$output<br>");
}

fclose($fh);
