Hello guys,
so... fgetss(). We have such a beautiful function in PHP. As it's
described in the manual: "Get line from file pointer and strip HTML
tags". I'm wondering if it has any differences/advantages over using
just strip_tags(fgets($stream)).
I'm going to write an RFC proposing deprecation and then removal of it,
but first I want to ensure that this function is as useless (IMHO) as I
think.
Best regards,
Maciej.

The fgetss() function keeps the strip_tags state between reads to provide
consistent results; observe the following example:
hello <html>
<?php
echo "we don't want this;"
?>
This should rightfully output only "hello world" (and some newlines); if
you would apply strip_tags() on each individually read line, you would
also get stuff you don't want.

Hello Tjerk,
thanks for the explanation. This is close to what I thought. So, if
there is a difference, I see no point in proposing to remove it. You can
consider this thread as closed ;)
Have a nice day,
Maciej.
