Hello list, I got a problem with displaying content in a "read more block" which contains HTML code. The problem is as followes: I got a large piece of content, which contains HTML code (<b><u><i> etc), but after 200 characters a read more link appears. At the moment I strip al the HTML out of this piece of content, and display the full set off content on another page. But now i also want to display the bold text etc. in the first (200 chrs) content block. The only problem i have here, is that when I got a bold tag opend in the first 200 chrs, and it's closed after 400 chrs, then the rest off the page is also bold.

You could try using http://php.net/substr_count and do something like: $tags = array('<b>', '<i>', '<u>'); foreach ($tags as $p => $tag) { $count = substr_count($string, $tag); if ($count % 2 != 0) {

     echo "Found a mismatch for tag " . htmlentities($tag) . "<br/>";

} } Not a great solution because you're hardcoding the tags you're looking for but there aren't that many that change text appearances like these do (but then again this method won't work for <span or <div tags because you can place styles inside those tags).... Unless you want to get into regex'es.... -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
