MySQL :: Strip HTML Tags

Strip Dynamic Information From A HTML File With PHP?
I have been trying to strip information out of a dynamically generated page and then insert the information into a database, this is only a one time thing. to explain the layout:

I have a list of 700 IP addresses in my database currently but they have no location linked to them, I am using the following code to retrieve the information from hostip.info and insert the returned data into a variable on a loop:

dbconnect();
$tbl_name = 'Votes';
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $tbl_name LIMIT 10"; //THIS LIMIT IS ONLY A TEMPORARY //
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$rows=mysql_fetch_array($result);
while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $rows['UIP']; //This is the IP stored currently
$file_l = file_get_contents('http://api.hostip.info/get_html.php?ip='.$rows['UIP'].'&position=true');
}

For each IP tested the information returned from hostip.info looks a bit like this:

Country: UNITED KINGDOM (GB)
City: (Unknown city)
Latitude:
Longitude:
IP: 79.170.40.245

just in plain text, I basically want to grab the Lat, Long and City from it and whack it in a database, HOWEVER, the city, lat and long are all different lengths.

Php - Use HTML Purifier If Stripping Tags/converting Them To HTML Entities?
I'm current working on a project where data is read from a textarea and fed to a mysql database. My question is do I really need to use html purifier to prevent mysql injections or whatever attacks if I'm already stripping html tags or converting them to entities?

Escape HTML Tags
i am using LOAD DATA INFILE command to dump a 50 MB csv file to my online database.
in the csv files some columns have HTML tags and due to this the data is not dumped as desired.. and many comlumns are left blank if previous value has html tags in it,
is there anyway to escape HTML tags with LOAD DATA INFILE command? so that html tags are not entered in the table.

Ignoring The HTML Tags
I have a field where i may have the HTML tags with the actual data. I want to search through this field, ignoring the HTML tags and only the displayable data.
Eg. if i have field value
<font style="padding-top:2px;">style</font>
Then this record should be returned only if i search for style.
For font, top, pad it should'nt be returned.
I think regular expressions will be useful. I am using MySql 5. Would be helpful if you provide the whole syntax as i am new to MySql .

Can You Put Html Tags In Via A Mysql_query?
I need to put table tags like <tr> and <td> within a sql database and everytime i do it it formats it into tablular format within the cell but i need the tags to stay there so when i call the cell it displays it in the formatted way other wise it all comes out in one line.

PHP Input HTML Tags
I have a PHP MySQL database which I will be storing all my information in. I have a text field on a HTML page that the user can add data to and then on submit a MySQL query inserts this information into a database. Pretty standard stuff. However, I am now in a position where I can attach a TinyMCE or FCKEditor onto my text field (now a text area). My question is: How do I get this information into the database now, taking into account that the tags will affect the MySQL query, and stripping any tags would impair the display of said information on another page? I know about strip_tags and similar PHP features but my problem isn't going to be with the PHP it's going to be with the database input with MySQL, any " or ' or ; will break the query and removing these tags before input would remove any format enhancements the user has made. I am under the assumption also, that if I use mysql_real_escape_string I would need to strip the slashes before I display the data - and this would take all the slashes out of the close tags as well: , etc.

Removing Html Tags & Contents
does anybody know of any available code that will remove html tags and their contents from a field within a SQL query?

For example on the following I would want to remove the tags leaving "Hello - this is a test this is a test this is a test this is a test this is a test"

"Hello - this a test <A href="test.html">click here</a> this is a test this is a test <script language=javascript>go</script> this is a test this is a test"

Php - Neutralize Inputs That Contain Html Tags?
I mean if someone enters <a>gvfdg</a> it should not show up a link. I've tried htmlspecialchars() but it did not helped. In PHP and MySQL.

mysql_real_escape_string(htmlspecialchars($mesaj));
$sql="INSERT INTO mesaj (Person1, Person2, mesaj)
VALUES ('$currentuser', '$id','$mesaj')";
if (!mysql_query($sql,$link))
{
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_close($link);

Php - HTML Tags In Db Text Field
I'm creating a database with what I anticipate will be a long (perhaps several paragraphs for some tuples) attribute. I'm assigning it text instead of varchar.

Should I give a maximum value for the text field? Is this necessary? Is it useful? Since the contents of this field will be displayed on a website in HTML, do I need to include paragraph tags for paragraph formatting when I enter records into mysql?

Storing Content With Html Tags In Db?
I'm hoping you guys can shed some light on this. I'm writing a quiz program. I'm pulling questions and answers from a db. Some answers require a checkbox, some a text input, etc. So instead of writing a decision block to determine what type of input tags are needed, I was wondering about storing the content (answers in this case) with their needed html tags in the db instead, so when I iterated through the answers query, each answer would come with its needed input tags. I'm wondering if I can get your opinions, any known standards/problems, etc. for storing content with html tags in the database.

Fulltext Search :: How To Ignore HTML Tags
If you are storing HTML pages in a DB, is their a way to perform a full-text search on the contents of those pages whilst ignoring HTML tags? I expect if there is MySQL would have to be tuned not to index them.The only solution I can think of for this problem is keeping a second copy of all pages in the DB that has had the tags stripped from them. Is there a better way?

Ignoring Content Inside HTML Tags
Is it possible to set MySQL to by default ignore all content contained within HTML tags? For instance, if a database full of HTML pages has the "class" attribute on a lot of the tags and someone searches for "class" expecting information on classes, wouldn't that also return all those documents just because they had a "class" attribute?
It would be great if I could set MySQL to ignore all content between < and >.

Php - Search For The First 500 Letters And Excluding Html Tags?
How can I search for the first 500 character, not including html tag?

Below is I came up with so far, which is searching for a keyword that occurs in a text,

SELECT *
FROM root_pages
WHERE root_pages.pg_cat_id = '2'
AND root_pages.parent_id != root_pages.pg_id
AND root_pages.pg_hide != '1'
AND root_pages.pg_url != 'cms'
AND root_pages.pg_content_1 REGEXP '[[:<:]]".$search."[[:>:]]'
OR root_pages.pg_content_2 REGEXP '[[:<:]]".$search."[[:>:]]'

ORDER BY root_pages.pg_created DESC

How can I add more conditions into it - first 500 letters that don't include html tag?

It would be perfect if it can search the keyword on the first paragraph only - is it possible?

edit:

this is my solution:

# query to search for "whole word match" in SQL only, e.g. when I search for "rid", it should not match "arid", but it should match "a rid".
# you can use REGEXP and the [[:<:]] and [[:>:]] word-boundary markers:
$sql = "
SELECT *
FROM root_pages

[Code]....

Remove Html Tags From Results And Search?
I am in the final stages of a joomla site and have a plug-in I wish to use that seems to work fine for searching a components entries (SOBI2) in the sites main search, however the query is searching not only on the content but also any html tags within that content, and is also showing that html code in the results.

What I want to know is if there is a way that the code can be modified to remove all html code before the search and show the results without the html code, but the original entry data with the html code must stay intact.

I have queried the developer of the plug-in and so far he has not been able to provide a solution, if we can identify one here I will of course share that with him and anyone else using his plug-in

The file is downloadable from [URL] and is the plg_aiSobiSearch_1_0_10.zip (the file is called aisobisearch.php)

Here is the code for that file (I am sure the developer would be fine with this as it is open source

Entering Html Tags In Database Entries?
Is it better practice to a) strip all html tags < > when entering into a database and converting to [ ] ("BBCode") and then convert accordingly when being read

or is it ok to b) just enter < > tags in a TEXT or BLOB field in a database entry? Can html being entered into a database become malicious? As far as I know, there are no MySQL operations that would be interfered with with the use of < > in entries (unlike / and other commands like SELECT).

*On a side note, should all form data always be searched for SQL commands to strip them? Can commands even be executed through a database insertion or the like?

Regexp Matching For Text Outside Html Tags In Db
I have a sql query in MySQL and I want an expression that matches with the string not between '<' and '>'. For example:

select '<span class="boldtext">collaboratively site</span> - regardless of platform or language' rlike 'expression looking for boldtext' ==> should return false because 'boldtext' locates inside a html tag
select '<span class="boldtext">collaboratively site</span> - regardless of platform or language' rlike 'expression looking for platform' ==> should return true because 'platform' locates outside a html tag

I tried with below but no luck. I guess because the '*' is greedy.

select '...' rlike '[^[.<.]]?[^[.>.]]*platform[^[.<.]]*[^[.>.]]?' # This expression doesn't work

I knew that the expression would be like below if it's run on a programming language like Ruby or PHP

'<span class="boldtext">collaboratively site</span> - regardless of platform or language' =~ /((?!<[^>]*))boldtext1/ # => false
'<span class="boldtext">collaboratively site</span> - regardless of platform or language' =~ /((?!<[^>]*))platform1/ # => true

I found a similar post but I can't rewrite it for my case.

Generate HTML < > Tags With Myql String Functions
I have a query like this in that I want to generate an image tag <img src=photo.jpg> when a particular record has an image associated with it.. Here's what the query looks like:

SELEC members.member_id,CONCAT('<img src=',photo,'>') 'Image' FROM members WHERE isAgent=1 order by updated desc

but it keeps outputting the < > as their HTML entities.
<img src=photos/th_244p1010003.jpg> 

Any ideas how to have it output the <> so the browser renders the image?

Remove Html Tags And Php Serialization Info From Result Without Php?
I'm storing a PHP array where key=>value pairs are information used to build jQuery UI tabs on a website.

The string stored in the MySQL database looks like:

a:2:{i:0;a:2:{i:1;s:9:"Info";i:2;s:643:"<h2><strong>This section is about foo</strong></h2><p><strong>Lorem ipsum ...";}i:1;a:2:{i:1;s:14:"More Info";i:2;s:465:"<p>Lorem ipsum ...";}} (not a valid serialized array or html because I truncated the lengthy content for formatting reasons) I would like to allow this content to be fed to Sphinx (full-text indexer) for site search purposes. Basically Sphinx just grabs the contents of the database and indexes what it finds, subject to the configuration options you specify... What I'm wondering is if there's a good way to get either MySQL or Sphinx to strip out the serialization information and html tags so that only the plain text gets indexed.

PHP Display Returned Content Without Html Tags Being Stripped?
I have a column in SQL 'Text' datatype and inside I have content within html tag, eg somecontent: onetwo... I want the mysql query to echo out the databases contents without stripping the html tags (its possible this is done by php for security reasons or?) so that the html code will render if you get me? At the moment it just lumps out a paragraph which looks aweful! It should be noted security is not much of a concern as this is a project and not going to be exposed publicly
