So, I'm making this news page and I want to limit the amount of text shown, and then put a link that says 'Read More' which takes you to the full article, but...

 

If a user has posted a pic, video, or a link it will cut it off at the character limit too. This can cause problems in the rest of the code.

 

Is there a way to make it so it knows it's a pic, video, or a link and it will go past the limit so the pic, video, or link's HTML isn't cut off?

$content = preg_replace("/<img (.*) \/>/","",$content);

 

someone helped me with this awhile back when i needed to strip images out of captioins for blog posts.  No idea how to do it for other media types

 

Edit: Sorry just re-read your post.  this may not be exactly what you're looking for.  i thought you wanted the caption with the link to not have the picture in it at all.
