gzgetss

Name

gzgetss — Returns a string with HTML tags stripped out from a compressed file with the specified length - 1.

Synopsis

string gzgetss(zp, length[, allowable_tags]); int zp: File pointer int length: Number bytes to get string allowable_tags (optional): Tags not to be stripped

Returns

A string with HTML tags stripped out on success or FALSE on failure

Description

It actually strips out any tags that start with "<" and end with ">". It returns a string of specified length -1 or a string ending in a newline, which ever comes first. If the string plus the tag is greater than the specified length - 1, only the "<" and up to the specified length - 1 gets stripped. This function is a combination of gzgets() and strip_tags().

Version

PHP 3, PHP 4 >= 4.0b1

Example

Example 1452. Strip out the HTML tags from a file

//create a gz file with HTML tags in it
$gz = gzopen('myfile.gz','w9');
gzputs ($gz, "Hello <BR>world!");
gzclose($gz);

//Strip out the tags and print the results
$gz = gzopen('myfile.gz','r');
while (!gzeof($gz)) {
  echo gzgetss($gz,20) . '<BR>';
}
gzclose($gz);
