Html - newbie question - thanks

[notnak]

Hello, I am trying to split the $content into lines, but avoid breaking the html tags.

(Inside content is an html page)

 

while (strlen($content)>0)
{
	$thous = substr($content,0,1000);//get current digit
		for ($z=1000; $z > 0 ; $z--)
			{
   				$onec = substr($thous,$z,1);
				if ( $onec = '>' )
					{
   						$current++;
   						$line[$current]=substr($content,0,$z);//get current digit
						$content=substr($content,$z,strlen($content));//reduce number string to remove last stored digit
					}
			}
   }

 

What's wrong? Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

To do what you are trying to you would need Regular Expressions or similar methods, so I recommend you just to wrap it using HTML/CSS.

Can you show the $content ??

Are you trying to do Word Wrap ??

Try

$content = $myrow["Content"];
$content1=stripslashes($content); //strip /
$content2 = nl2br ($content1); //convert CR to BR

Thanks for your kind replies.

 

I just want to break an ebook (simple html) into chucks of 1000 chars in order to load them into the Virtual Pagination class.

So, I have to maintain the html, but can't break the html when I am inside an html tag.

Any help would be great.. thanks.

$content = file_get_contents("ebook.htm");
$wraped = wordwrap($content, 1000, "<br />\n");
echo $wraped

$content = file_get_contents("ebook.htm");
$wraped = wordwrap($content, 1000, "<br />\n");
echo $wraped

 

Thanks for the tip neel_basu, but that would not avoid breaking the html tags, or does the wordwarp interprets and respects html code?

Any other tips? Thanks.
