SplFileObject::fgetss — Gets line from file and strip HTML tags
This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.3.0, and REMOVED as of PHP 8.0.0. Relying on this function is highly discouraged.
Description
$allowable_tags = ?): stringIdentical to SplFileObject::fgets(), except that SplFileObject::fgetss() attempts to strip any HTML and PHP tags from the text it reads. The function retains the parsing state from call to call, and as such is not equivalent to calling strip_tags() on the return value of SplFileObject::fgets().
Parameters
-
allowable_tags -
Optional parameter to specify tags which should not be stripped.
Return Values
Returns a string containing the next line of the file with HTML and PHP
code stripped, or false on error.
Examples

EOD;
file_put_contents("sample.php", $str);
$file = new SplFileObject("sample.php");
while (!$file->eof()) {
echo $file->fgetss();
}
?>
