No, it's not a very good solution. Striptags will leave everything

I know it's possible to use non reg-ex strpos/substr to extra
everything
within <body>, but as another poster correctly said, this assumes a
consistent HTML document (which there is not).
I realize now that such a regex would be rather sophisticated, but I
thought surely it must exist, since text-scrapping the readable
content
of a web page must not be rare.
Said it before, but low-tech solution is to use program "lynx" with
the
-dump argument and capture the output back to PHP. I'm assuming you
are
on Linux or OSX I guess as I've not heard of using lynx on
windows.....
Thanks, that sounds like a good direction. And yes, I'm on OS X.
There are loads of command line options to control the way lynx
displays
the output so you have a very fine grain of control here.
