I was trying to execute some php code and it kept screwing up so I pasted some test code into the ATO -> Edit POST/PAGE -> Footer: homepage

<?php
$text = '<p>Test paragraph.</p><!-- Comment --> <a href="#fragment">Other text</a>';
echo strip_tags($text);
echo "\n";

// Allow <p> and <a>
echo strip_tags($text, '<p><a>');
?>

This should spit something out like:

Test paragraph. Other text
<p>Test paragraph.</p> <a href="#fragment">Other text</a>

But instead I get:

Other text'; echo strip_tags($text); echo "\n"; // Allow
and echo strip_tags($text, '

'); ?>

Any clues?

P.S. Almost forgot to link the site. If you want to take a peek it is www.pvpgamer.com
I disabled all the plugins and it did not fix the problem.

change it to

<?php $text = '<p>Test paragraph.</p><!-- Comment --> <a href="#fragment">Other text</a>';
echo strip_tags($text);
echo "\n";

// Allow <p> and <a>
echo strip_tags($text, '<p><a>');
?>

note you will not see

<p>Test paragraph.</p> <a href="#fragment">Other text</a>

unless you look at the source because it is html and when you view the page, the html gets processed so you will see

Test paragraph. Other text
Test paragraph.

Other text

So the carriage return killed it. This is why I don't code for a living lol.
