#20881 [NEW]: strip_tags() option to change brackets

[mark]

Bug description:  strip_tags() option to change brackets

#15972, which is open right now, had some good thoughts on how to expand
strip_tags...

My suggestion:

1. Add a third/fourth parameter to it that (if specified) says what to
change the brackets *to* instead of replacing them.

e.g.:

strip_tags("<b>hi</b><i>there</i>", "<b>", "&lt", "&gt");

would have an output of:

<b>hi</b> &lt;there&gt;

The point of this is so that rather than strip away tags that are invalid,
a forum would be able to see code just fine..  Well, that, and we'd be
able to have brackets on the site without typing in the html equivalent ;)
