";

While using strip_tags($content,”) the html inside the pre tag too stripped of. but i don’t want the html inside pre stripped off

Answer 1

You may do the following:

1. Use preg_replace with ‘e’ modifier to replace contents of pre tags with some strings like @@@1@@@, @@@2@@@, etc. while storing this contents in some array
2. Run strip_tags()
3. Run preg_relace with ‘e’ modifier again to restore @@@1@@@, etc. into original contents.

A bit kludgy but should work.
