Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Hi Daniel, I don't think this is a bug. You're opening a tag which is not terminated. So strip_tags will strip it. If you replace your <' by any other char (but space) like <a you'll have the same behavior.
