php's strip_tags() won't work
- by Maxime ARNSTAMM
Hello everyone
I'm trying to tweak a tiny bit a wordpress, but i am level 0 in php, so i kinda suck :/
I want to add a custom 'tweet this' button (i know there already is a gazillion of them, i just wanted to do it on my own, for fun)
So, i'm trying this :
<a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=<?php strip_tags(the_excerpt()) ?>" >tweet this</a>
the_excerpt() returns "<p> ... excerpt ... </p>" and the strip_tags function does not strip those <p> tags !
What do i do wrong ?
Thanks, and sorry if it is obvious.
