PHP Manual: SplFileObject::fgetss

Description

public function SplFileObject::fgetss(string $allowable_tags = ?): string

Identical to SplFileObject::fgets(), except that SplFileObject::fgetss() attempts to strip any HTML and PHP tags from the text it reads. The function retains the parsing state from call to call, and as such is not equivalent to calling strip_tags() on the return value of SplFileObject::fgets().

Parameters

allowable_tags: Optional parameter to specify tags which should not be stripped.

Return Values

Returns a string containing the next line of the file with HTML and PHP code stripped, or false on error.

Examples

Example #1 SplFileObject::fgetss() example

<?php
$str = <<<EOD
<html><body>
 <p>Welcome! Today is the <?php echo(date('jS')); ?> of <?= date('F'); ?>.</p>
</body></html>
Text outside of the HTML block.
EOD;
file_put_contents("sample.php", $str);

$file = new SplFileObject("sample.php");
while (!$file->eof()) {
    echo $file->fgetss();
}
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Welcome! Today is the  of .

Text outside of the HTML block.
