Re: Counting HTML Lines

what about a file()? this will return the file in an array:each element of the array is a line of the file. then you can do a count to have the numer of elements in the array. you can get rid of the html tags with a strip_tags. hth, melanie

Secondly, "HTML" doesn't "push" the text automatically to anywhere, it is your text-editor. HTML is presented as it's written on the file. So if your text-editor chops the text to multiple lines, then it's no-can-do. Though, usually text-editors don't add "\n"'s in text, even if they show a long line chopped to multiple lines in edit-mode. A solution would be for you to process the HTML to a variable first and then print it. This way you can also count the lines by counting the number of "\n"'s. -- Regards, Jyrki Laurila On 4/15/05, Ng Hwee Hwee <hhwee@towa.com.sg> wrote:

hi! thanx for your reply. i cannot count the number of "\n" because

sometimes

the inputted text is very long without any "\n", but because it is

inside a

cell that has a linited width, HTML will automatically push it to the

next

line, right? in this case, there won't be a count for "\n". hwee ----- Original Message ----- From: "Petar Nedyalkov" <bu@orbitel.bg> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, April 15, 2005 5:06 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Counting HTML Lines Count the "\n" characters in the output.
