Baumusu Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 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?

calabiyau Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 $content = preg_replace("/<img (.*) \/>/","",$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.

Baumusu Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Thanks for helping. I will come up with a solution and post it when I'm done. Unless anybody else has away of doing this?
