How does strip_tags function in PHP affect the output when reading HTML files with fopen?

When reading HTML files with fopen in PHP, the strip_tags function can be used to remove any HTML tags from the content. This can be useful if you only want to extract the text content from the HTML file and remove any formatting or styling. By applying strip_tags to the content read from the file, you can ensure that only the text data is processed further. 

$file = fopen('example.html', 'r');
$content = fread($file, filesize('example.html'));
$clean_content = strip_tags($content);
fclose($file);

echo $clean_content;
