One way is to use regexp.
Here is another way:

//find body tag
$iPos1 =3D strpos($htmldata, "<body");

//find closing tag
$iPos1 =3D strpos($htmldata, ">", $iPos1) + 1;

//find </body>
$iPos2 =3D strpos($htmldata, "</body>") - 1;

//find string
$yourText =3D substr($htmldata, $iPos1, $iPos2 - $iPos1);

"This function tries to return a string with all HTML and PHP tags
stripped from a given /str/."  I was hoping to only remove the header
and footer tags, but to leave all of the other formating tags in place.
 Either PHP or SSI would be fine.  Am I going to have to script this 
myself?
