At the risk of going a bit off topic, you may wish to look at PHP's
built-in strip_tags function
http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php
$plBody = strip_tags($plBody, '');
But you'll still need to convert plain to after that, but
you can use the slightly quicker str_replace function then
$plBody = str_replace('','',$plBody);
At least this saves you one step without getting any bad disco memories
involved...

Re: [WSG] Includes in XHTML
hello all - thanks for all great suggestions
in the end, I went with a derivative of James' third idea below, and
did a little php/perl magic:
$plBody is the imported file:
$plBody = preg_replace("//", "::ABBA::", $plBody);
#Convert all the 's to ::ABBA:: (a rather unlikly string)
$plBody = preg_replace("/<.+?>/", "", $plBody);
# Drop all other HTML tags
$plBody = preg_replace("/::ABBA::/", "", $plBody);
#Convert all the ::ABBA::'s back to 's
For this application, the users autorized to post here are really
unlikly to be talking about 1970's popular disco.
Thanks again - and I realize that this is nearing OT-ness, but I
figured my solution might be helpful to others.

Re: [WSG] Includes in XHTML
Hi Jonathon I suggest one or more of the following three options: 1 running the markup through Tidy - http://au.php.net/tidy (You'll have to compile PHP with Tidy - more at link above). 2 using an HTML4.0 transitional doctype for the pages that display 3rd party markup. 3 use strip_tags to remove unwanted markup from the 3rd party stuff - http://au.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php HTH James On Sun, 28 Nov 2004 08:54:03 +0200, Mordechai Peller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jonathan T.

You could use an object tag, but it would suffer from most of the negatives of an iframe. If you choose to have PHP parse the HTML, as Rob suggested, I believe there are some tools available.

Re: [WSG] Includes in XHTML
alright, dumb question anyway. My original expectation on all these includes was that the incoming file was plaintext, with only replacments on newlines. A little php magic and I just dumped the rest of the markup.

Re: [WSG] Includes in XHTML
You can't render a part of a page as HTML, but it is possible to let PHP parse all pages with some variable or something like that as HTML instead of XHTML.

[WSG] Includes in XHTML
good evening - I've set up my site to serve as XHTML 1.1 - the entire site is actually a single PHP file that parses a bunch of XML. my problem comes in on a few pages where I am actually serving an e-mail archive, some of which contains some not very well written HTML (hotmail actually). I was wondering if there is an easy way to tell the browser to render just a section of the page in a HTML4 mode, to avoid it bombing out. google hasn't turned up much. For more info on what I'm looking to fix, take a look at the sub pages of : http://theatre.msu.edu/Productions/smcallboard.php thanks ~j -- Jonathan T.
