strip_tags() - string

This function tries to return a string with all NULL bytes, HTML and PHP tags stripped
   from a given str.  It uses the same tag stripping
   state machine as the fgetss() function.

Parameters : 
 str - The input string. 
 allowable_tags - You can use the optional second parameter to specify tags which should
       not be stripped.
      
Note: 
       
        HTML comments and PHP tags are also stripped. This is hardcoded and
        can not be changed with allowable_tags.
       

Note: 
       
        In PHP 5.3.4 and later, self-closing
        XHTML tags are ignored and only non-self-closing tags should be used in
        allowable_tags. For example,
        to allow both 
 and
        
, you should use:
