wp_kses_attr( string $element, string $attr, array $allowed_html, array $allowed_protocols )

Removes all attributes, if none are allowed for this element.


Description

If some are allowed it calls wp_kses_hair() to split them further, and then it builds up new HTML code from the data that kses_hair() returns. It also removes "<" and ">" characters, if there are any left. One more thing it does is to check if the tag has a closing XHTML slash, and if it does, it puts one in the returned code as well.


Parameters

$element

(string) (Required) HTML element/tag

$attr

(string) (Required) HTML attributes from HTML element to closing HTML element tag

$allowed_html

(array) (Required) Allowed HTML elements

$allowed_protocols

(array) (Required) Allowed protocols to keep


Return

(string) Sanitized HTML element
