and want want remove tag

<p justify;"=""></p>

my code:

$content = strip_tags($text, '<p>');

but i get empty string: string(0) "" , what I do wrong ?

Answer 1

Try to put it like that

$content = strip_tags($text);

Or you can do it with regular expression like that:

$content = preg_replace('/<[^>]*>/', '', $text);

By this $content = strip_tags($text, '<p>'); you are allowing the <p> tag in the string.
