file_get_contents is picking up all code instead of just the text

Question

$text = file_get_contents("http://127.0.0.1/name.php?name=Lary");

I want to use it to get only the text, not the html.

Answer 1

Try this I haven't tested yet.

$html = file_get_contents("http://127.0.0.1/name.php?name=Lary");

$text = strip_tags($html);

echo ($text);
