Hibb.

Is there suppost to be such a huge diffrence between these two methods?
Would have thougt combination of `file()` & `strip_tags()` would result in same results as fgetss()
<?php
    $file = file ( "http://no2.php.net/" );
    $fp = fopen ( "http://no.php.net/", "r" );
    $i = 0;
    
    while ( !feof ( $fp ) ) {
        echo "fgetss:     "; var_dump ( trim ( fgetss ( $fp, 3072 ) ) );
        echo "strip_tags: "; var_dump ( trim ( strip_tags ( $file[ $i++ ] ) ) ) ;
    }
?>
See live example: http://62.249.185.14/examples/fgetss.php

Look at the lines that differ.  `strip_tags()` doesn't know anything about
tags that started on previous lines.
