presso Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hey all , i am doing a little project at the moment and i am just wondering what would be the best way to go about doing the following.I query sql for certain info , the info that returns is say a block of text, what i am looking at wanting to do is to stop display when it sees a certain tag, ie a block of text and within that text is <!stop> , when it see's that it won't display anything beyond that tag.If somebody could point me in the right direction i would be most grateful.

Firemankurt Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 If you want to do this after the query then something like:[code]<?php$mystring = 'This is a long block of usles text <!stop> that goes on forever.';$findme = '<!stop>';$pos = strpos($mystring, $findme);$ShortStr = substr($mystring, 0, $pos);echo $ShortStr;?>[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
