strip_tags() .... replace tags by space rather than deleting them

Question

Do you know how to replace html tags with a space character using php?

If I display

strip_tags('<h1>Foo</h1>bar'); 

I get as result "foobar" but what I need to keep words separate is "foo bar".

Answer 1

$string      = '<h1>Foo</h1>bar'; $spaceString = str_replace( '<', ' <',$string ); $doubleSpace = strip_tags( $spaceString ); $singleSpace = str_replace( '  ', ' ', $doubleSpace ); 

Answer 2

Try this.

preg_replace('#<[^>]+>#', ' ', '<h1>Foo</h1>bar');
