PHP beginner: what's the best way to sanitize text when fetched from the database? Using both strip_taps and htmlspecialchars? I want to sanitize the text but make sure some tags are not turned into HTML entities like <a> and <li>
All joking aside, please sanitize on input, not output. As far as the second part of your question goes, there is no built in partial strip_tags function. The safest thing to do would be to continue using strip_tags on insert in conjunction with something like markdown to convert to the allowed HTML entities.
