Need short call to remove all HTML TAG because of memory problem

Hi,

I want to remove all HTML tags from HTML pages.

I'd like to know if there is a better way than making this call :

require_once('htmlpurifier/library/HTMLPurifier.auto.php');
$config = HTMLPurifier_Config::createDefault();
$config->set('HTML', 'Allowed', ''); // Allow Nothing
$purifier = new HTMLPurifier($config);
return $purifier->purify($html);

I get :

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 52428800 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in /home/httpd/htdocs/lib/htmlpurifier-4.3.0/library/HTMLPurifier/Lexer/DOMLex.php on line 177

The page tested was a 580 Ko page size. My admin team do not want to change the configuration of the PHP memory allocation.

So may be could I call Purifier in a lighter way to get same result ? (only text!)

Any idea are welcome.

Thanks per advance.

striptags and then htmlentities.

??? no ... I want to leave correctly as is doing perfeclty Purifier the scripts and other malformed tags. PHP strip_tags functions is so buggy ! I can't use them ...

What I really want to know is there is any option to not going throught filters for example, or accessing just to the earth call of cleanning tags in Purifier (to get less memory usage). This tool is so good ... and works better than php functions.

Please you migh you this ...

You're running out of memory in the tokenization stage, so it's the internal representation of the HTML that's killing you. You might have some luck setting %Core.LexerImpl to DirectLex, or try using ini_set to bump the memory limit, but otherwise, you're out of luck.

Ok thanks for your answer ... DirectLex do not changed anything ... so yes init_set solved it ... but I'm not so happy with this ... Thanks again for your reactivity!
