    <p>Okay... I know &lt;- cant be excluded from strip_tags using allowable tags per say but im trying to use a work around. The work around works fine on character sets that wouldn't be valid HTML to begin with, such as &lt;&lt; or &lt;~ however when i use the code below to convert the &lt;- or -> to digits before strip_tags is processed and then back from digits to the &lt;- and -> after. But whenever those symbols show up all HTML from there on is removed, that or not processed. I understand i cant have it left alone through allowable tags which is why i convert it before the strip_Tags and back after... but its almost as if strip_Tags still removes it even though its converted back after the line where strip_tags is, since its removing &lt;- and taking everything to the right of it.... Any ideas or other ways to try? I've also tried defining &lt;- as <code>&amp;lt;—</code> and tried replacing it with other symbols as well, such as #- but no matter what i have the same outcome.</p> <p>I should also mention the &lt;- and -> arent used together, they are used to point to things in text. Like internt &lt;- is misspelled there.</p> <pre><code>`&lt;?php $data = file_get_contents("test.html"); $data = str_replace("&lt;-", "999", $data); $data = str_replace("-&gt;", "998", $data); $data = strip_tags($data, ''); $data = str_replace("999", "&lt;-", $data); $data = str_replace("998", "-&gt;", $data); echo $data; ?&gt;` </code></pre> <p>I was gathering sample data and realize if i remove a good chunk of the sample HTML everything works fine, turns out if i strip actual HTML comments such as <code>&lt;!-- Header //--&gt;</code> on my own the conversion goes fine, so im going to look for a regex match to remove the HTML comments before the conversion and the striptags.</p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>I used the following code below to remove the HTML comments first, which results in success. Thanks for your help.</p> <pre><code>`$data = preg_replace('/&lt;!--(.*)--&gt;/', '', $data);` </code></pre>

    1. COYou've got other problems if you're converting to something else, then back, and it is still stripped. Its pretty much not possible. post some code.

    2. COWhy don't you edit your question and put it in there so its readable. And it'd be useful to at least include a small sample of your input data including the tags in question.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
