strip tags - Why doesn't strip_tags work in PHP? -


i've got following code:

<?php echo strip_tags($firstarticle->introtext); ?> 

where $firstarticle stdclass object:

object(stdclass)[422]   public 'link' => string '/maps101/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57:greenlands-newest-iceberg&catid=11:geography-in-the-news' (length=125)   public 'text' => string 'greenland's newest iceberg' (length=26)   public 'introtext' => string '<p>a giant chunk of ice calved off petermann glacier on      northwest side of greenland summer. @ 100 square miles (260      sq. km) in size, 4 times size of manhattan, th' (length=206)   public 'date' =>      object(jdate)[423]       public '_date' => int 1284130800       public '_offset' => int 0       public '_errors' =>          array           empty 

you can see $firstarticle->introtext refers string:

"<p>a giant chunk of ice calved off petermann glacier on northwest side of greenland summer. @ 100 square miles (260 sq. km) in size, 4 times size of manhattan, th"

the <p> tag problem me in application, strip_tags absolutely refuses remove , can't figure out why. gave on strip_tags , attempted preg_replace instead regex /<(.|\n)*?>/ :

preg_replace('/<(.|\n)*?>/', '', $firstarticle->introtext); 

but didn't work either! how can strip html tags (matched or not) string when output it?

try:

<?php echo strip_tags(html_entity_decode($firstarticle->introtext)); ?>
