php strip_tags() function not working properly

The php strip_tags function work well for plain html codes but have problem dealing with css codes and javascripts like the following

<style type="text/css">
	.dap_category {
		margin-bottom:3px; 
		font-size:11px; 
		font-weight:bold; 
		color:#424242;
		min-height:15px;
	}
	.dap_image_box {
		min-height:110px;
	}
	.dap_no_image {
		border:solid thin black; 
		width:80px; 
		height:60px; 
		padding-top:20px; 
		margin:0 auto
	}
	.dap_image {
		border:solid thin black; 
	}
	.dap_item {
		margin-top:5px; 
		margin-bottom:2px;
	}
	a.dap_item_link {
		color:black; 
		font-size:11px; 
		font-weight:bold
	}
	.dap_item_price {
		font-size:11px; 
		font-weight:bold; 
		color:#B40404;
	}
</style>

Code (markup):

strip_tags remove only <style type="text/css"> and </style> but didn't remove the entire css code...

Any way to solve this problem?

thanks

 

try regular expressions then:

$code = '<style type="text/css">
	.dap_category {
		margin-bottom:3px; 
		font-size:11px; 
		font-weight:bold; 
		color:#424242;
		min-height:15px;
	}
	.dap_image_box {
		min-height:110px;
	}
	.dap_no_image {
		border:solid thin black; 
		width:80px; 
		height:60px; 
		padding-top:20px; 
		margin:0 auto
	}
	.dap_image {
		border:solid thin black; 
	}
	.dap_item {
		margin-top:5px; 
		margin-bottom:2px;
	}
	a.dap_item_link {
		color:black; 
		font-size:11px; 
		font-weight:bold
	}
	.dap_item_price {
		font-size:11px; 
		font-weight:bold; 
		color:#B40404;
	}
</style>';


$code = eregi_replace('<style type="text/css">(.*)</style>', '', $code);
echo $code;

Code (markup):

 

This should remove <style/> or <script/> elements.

$str = preg_replace('#<(script|style)[^>]*>.+</\1>#Usi', '', $str);

PHP:

 

I dunno what Us means, if it means that it should be non-greedy. Otherwise I suggest this:

$str = preg_replace('#<(script|style)[^>]*>.+?</\1>#i', '', $str);

You should probably read about the pattern modifiers if you're going to use the preg_* functions.
