I have created quite a simple php ebay affiliate script based on the ones that ebay provide. It pulls down search results and item details, but I am struggling to convert the crap that is returned in some of the the descriptions to plain text. I currently use strip_tags but it doesn't work with a lot of the embedded content that powersellers use

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

What an interesting project
If you feel so inclined, I would like to share the result of this when you solve it.

I have it working already see Find on Ebay and strip_tags is fine for most descriptions it is just the powerseller ones full of javascript that mess it up. I want to work out how to pull down the images into the search results too.
