Hi gang: I've been using $str = strip_tags($str, $allowable) as it is described via the manuals: http://php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php The problem I've found is the tags "<br>" and "<br />" are not stripped. How do you strip all tags, but leave some tags (such as <b>, <i>, and <u> -- I know these are depreciated, but my client wants them anyway).
