The Little Guy Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I would like to grab sections out of a body of text, but I am not sure how to get started with this... So, lets say I have an array of word to find in the doc $words = array_unique(array('the', 'squirrel', 'jumped', 'the', 'fence')); Using that array, I would like to get key section in the body of text (that was passed to the function) and get about 25 characters before the text and about 25 after. I want a maximum of three sections, and have them concatenated by some dots. basically it is the same look as google: Once located, block off all but one using flashing, wire fence or hardware cloth. .... If the squirrel is jumping from high to low, as from a tree Any Ideas how I could do something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
