PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1
New Comment:
I reproduced the problem in PHP 4.1.1, using the same code:
$foo = strip_tags("< < <b>hello</b>", "<b>");
echo $foo; // prints "< b>hello" with a hidden "</b>"
Tested on Windows XP and Linux 2.4

I did not try with the newest release, and unfortunatly
cannot currently test more with any version (different
computer, not suitable for PHP.)
Sorry I could not help.
Do note, though, that I have been to many, many sites who
use PHP, to look into what their solution is to
striptags(), and all the sites seem to use a custom
function. Obviously, I am not the only one to have this
problem (again, as far as 4.0.4pl1 is concerned.)

Does this happen with PHP 4.0.6?

$foo = strip_tags("< < <b>hello</b>", "<b>");
echo $foo; // prints "< b>hello" with a hidden "</b>"
strip_tags(), in this case, returns the string it was
supplied, but omits the second and third '<' character. In
a regular browser, it would display the 3 '<' characters,
seperated by spaces: "< < <" (equivalent to "< <
<") followed by a bold hello. Yet since PHP probably
raises a flag after the first "<", all subsequent "<"
characters are ignored until the next ">".
To resume:
Source witSource without strip_tags: "< < <b>hello</b>"
Source with strip_tags: "< b>hello</b>"
I would also like to point out:
$foo = strip_tags("< < < >hello</b>", "<b>");
echo $foo;
Source without strip_tags: "< < < >hello</b>"
Source with strip_tags: "hello</b>"
