Are there any specific PHP functions or libraries that can help with text conversion from CKEditor output?

When working with CKEditor output, you may encounter the need to convert the text in a specific way before displaying or storing it. One common task is to sanitize the HTML content to prevent any malicious code from being executed. To achieve this, you can use PHP functions like strip_tags() or htmlspecialchars() to clean up the text. Additionally, you can use libraries like HTMLPurifier to further sanitize the HTML content.

// Example of sanitizing CKEditor output using strip_tags() function
$ckeditorOutput = "<p><script>alert('Hello World!');</script>Sample text</p>";
$sanitizedOutput = strip_tags($ckeditorOutput);

echo $sanitizedOutput;
