How can PHP developers ensure that HTML tags are properly stripped from text content before processing it further?

To ensure that HTML tags are properly stripped from text content before processing it further, PHP developers can use the `strip_tags()` function. This function removes all HTML and PHP tags from a string, leaving only the plain text content. By applying `strip_tags()` to the input text, developers can prevent any potential security vulnerabilities or formatting issues caused by HTML tags. 

$inputText = "<p>This is some <b>bold</b> text.</p>";
$cleanText = strip_tags($inputText);
echo $cleanText;
