I am creating a RSS feed file for my application in which I want to remove HTML tags, which is done by strip_tags. But strip_tags is not removing HTML special code chars:
& © etc.
Please tell me any function which I can use to remove these special code chars from my string.

This should do what you're looking for: function clean($string) { $string = str_replace(' ', '-', $string); // Replaces all spaces with hyphens. return preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9\-]/', '', $string); // Removes special chars. } Hope it helpss!!
replace(/>/g, ">"). replace(/</g, "<"). replace(/"/g, """);
The HTML tags can be removed from a given string by using replaceAll() method of String class. We can remove the HTML tags from a given string by using a regular expression. After removing the HTML tags from a string, it will return a string as normal text.
Either decode them using html_entity_decode or remove them using preg_replace:
$Content = preg_replace("/&#?[a-z0-9]+;/i","",$Content); (From here)
EDIT: Alternative according to Jacco's comment
might be nice to replace the '+' with {2,8} or something. This will limit the chance of replacing entire sentences when an unencoded '&' is present.
$Content = preg_replace("/&#?[a-z0-9]{2,8};/i","",$Content); Use html_entity_decode to convert HTML entities.
You'll need to set charset to make it work correctly.
