apollo168 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I also posted this in the PHP Help thread, but I have a feeling it's going to get run to the bottom before anyone can help... http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,134055.0.html Basically I have some text that has HTML tags in it. I want to truncate the text (for previewing articles), but if I just use substr() it will truncate in the middle of HTML tags. That's not good when the text gets displayed. I don't know too much about regex, but I imagine it could prove useful in this situation. I would like to get the text truncated to 320 characters of plain text, not including HTML tags. Does anyone have any ideas how to do this? Am I missing a tutorial out there somewhere?
