Description: ------------ There is a nasty little gotcha in 'strip_tags', if you have a single quote inside an html comment strip_tags will ignore the end-of-comment tag! So, <!-- test --> this works, but <!-- test I've --> this does not, the end-of-comment tag will be ignored. Reproduce code: --------------- $i = "<!-- testing I've been to mars --> quite so"; echo(strip_tags($i)); Expected result: ---------------- It should read "quite so", instead it returns a blank string, presumably because no end quote was encountered (the parser has probably switched into 'attribute' mode, but in a comment there are no attributes). Adding another quote to the above example will verify this hypothesis. Actual result: -------------- an empty string. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46578&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46578&r=mysqlcfg
