ignoring tags 1

[manicleek]

Me again

I'm just wondering how I can get PHP to ignore html tags on output from a db.

E.G.

say I'm outputting a news story from a db that has image source in tags embedded in the text but I don't want to show the images on the output page

echo striptags($variable);

Or

echo htmlentities($variable);

if you want to display the tags.
