web_master Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I got another problem. It is a counting characters. When I reload text from database, I want to count how many characters are in text. The problem is that I use the timymce, and there is a tags </p> and formats <span> and other formats. How can I count characters without those format, just pure characters entire text? I need a php code. And some plus - text is in utf8 coding in database with utf8 bin.

Pikachu2000 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 You could use strip_tags and strlen, perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try this: strlen(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($request['text']))) but it still count tags when I wrote text in textarea the tinymce count correctly eg 28 characters, but after reload there is a 67 chars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu2000 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 What does $request['text'] hold? Without knowing that, it's just a guess as to what's happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
