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...

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?
