Not sure were to post this function, but this looked a nice place. This function takes 2 arguments, $text and $length. It is meaned for people who want to create a readmore link with eg. substr in a HTML field. So, when you do substr($text, 0, 200) and a <b> tag is opend in the first 200 characters, and closed in the 400th, the rest of the page is bold also. That is what this function takes care of: <? # still need some tweaking (eg. non closable tags) # the return value is a string with all the close tags. function readMore_closedtags($text, $length) { preg_match_all('/<(.*?)>/s',substr(stripslashes($text), 0, $length),$out); foreach($out[1] as $key2 => $val2){ if( !preg_match("/br.*/", $val2) && !empty($val2) ){ $val2_arr = explode(" ", $val2); $val2 = $val2_arr[0]; if(preg_match("/^\//", $val2)) $html_arr_close[] = strtolower($val2); else $html_arr_open[] = strtolower($val2); } } $not_closed_tags = array(); foreach($html_arr_open as $tag){ $key = array_search("/" . $tag, $html_arr_close); if($key !== false){ unset($html_arr_close[$key]); } else { $not_closed_tags[] = $tag; } } $closed_tags_str = ''; foreach($not_closed_tags as $tag){ $closed_tags_str .= "</" . $tag . ">"; } return $closed_tags_str; } ?> Hope someone finds it usefell ;-) ---- Server IP: 83.137.20.120 Probable Submitter: 80.255.240.169 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match-all.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/75002 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75002/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75002/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75002/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75002/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75002/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75002/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75002 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/75002 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
