Strip script tags and contents in them?

[Ajm113]

I want too know how I can parse for <script and </script> and replace them with nothing. For some reason my preg_replace isn't working the way I planned it..

I don't have the code of the function since I deleted it and didn't back it up.

So can someone help me out?

Thanks, Ajm113.

Heya, AJM.

My suggestion, rather than to allow all tags except <script> is to disallow all tags except for certain ones that you have decided are benign.

PHP: strip_tags - Manual

I think you mist read my topic, I already have that going, Its just it's not removing the code between the tags. str_replace is the function I want too work with.

it could be that because of the added escape characters your RegEx doesn't work. you can check that by dumping the string to evaluate just before the RegEx.

AJM,

In that case I think you need to tackle the problem in 2 steps:

1. Using str_pos() and substr() you can define a variable that is basically the contents of the '<script>... ...</script>' tags.
2. Using that new variable and the str_replace() function you can replace the new string with ''

Hope that helps.

Unfortunately, Pb is not psychic, although he sometimes likes to believe it; without seeing the current code you are using, how can we point out why it isn't doing as you'd like?

How would you know? ;)

Sorry, substr, isn't going to work in this case, I actually forgot that my code returns line by line in a loop and prints it.

So what would be a good way on telling it not too show text until it see's the </script> tag?

Sorry, wasn't thinking, lol. I am making a mobile viewer and I am trying too cut off CSS and Javascript code.

Ah, Ok. Now I see what you're saying.

The first idea that comes to mind would be to do a regular expression along the lines of

!<script.*?>.+?</script>!

But it sounds like the regexp route wasn't working for you....
