Q: Remove certain html tags from text based content I'm using CKE text editor  http://ckeditor.com on my web site. 
When user create content using this text editor, text  may have paragraphs, bullet lists, headers with different sizes etc... and all content is stored in mysql database as HTML format...So, when text is displayed from database, let say on home page as a featured article, it is displayed in same form as user stored it to db, so it causes aesthetics problems 
I want to know the best way to remove html tags from text string with PHP or Javacript  and leave just text, because I dont wanna manualy  type all possible html tags with str_replace() function. Thanks in advance

A: You're after PHP's strip_tags function. This removes both HTML and PHP tags from a string. Reference page: http://php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php
Example:
$text = "<p>My string</p>";
echo strip_tags($text); //This would print "My string"
