php strip_tags() troubles
<p>I am making a project posting system that will have somewhat some markup, similar to bbcodes, When i'm fetching the data from the database I use </p>

<pre><code>strip_tags($content,'&lt;br /&gt;');
</code></pre>

<p>To remove any unwanted html tags, then I continue on to use </p>

<pre><code>str_ireplace($markup,$html_t,$strip_tags);
</code></pre>

<p>And those are both placed in variables for easier working.
I want to allow the <code>&lt;br /&gt;</code> tag because that is what is in my database to achieve line downs (nl2br) now for some reason it's not echoing out <code>&lt;br /&gt;</code>'s.  </p>
