Description:
------------
echo strip_tags('test <------ Test');

I expect to receive the same "test <------ Test", since there is not tags.

Unfortunately, PHP removes all string after <------.

I пуе "test " without <------ Test.

Test script:
---------------
echo strip_tags('test <------ Test');

Expected result:
----------------
test <------ Test

Actual result:
--------------
test

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

strip_tags() is a pretty aggressive string function, not a "real" HTML/XML parser. So this should be the expected behavior:

From the manual:

Warning: Because strip_tags() does not actually validate the HTML, partial or broken tags can result in the removal of more text/data than expected.
