SplFileObject::fgetss — Gets line from file and strip HTML tags

### Description

public string SplFileObject::fgetss ([ string `$allowable_tags` ] )

### 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

Example #1 SplFileObject::fgetss() example

`<?php
$str = <<<EOD
<html><body>
<p>Welcome! Today is the <?php echo(date('jS')); ?> of <?= date('F'); ?>.</p>
</body></html>
Text outside of the HTML block.
EOD;
file_put_contents("sample.php", $str);
$file = new SplFileObject("sample.php");
while (!$file->eof()) {
echo $file->fgetss();
}
