note 97349 added to function.substr

I had some problems with the order of the closing of tags. Example: <p>some <b><i>very</i>long</b> text to show my problem</p> would be converted to (if the script would cut the part after "very": <p>some <b><i>very</p></b></i> My second problem was, that the script didn't recognized tags like <a href="#" title="title"> So my version based on bennys and erez' work looks like this: <?php function mb_substrws($text, $length = 180) { if((mb_strlen($text) > $length)) { $whitespaceposition = mb_strpos($text, ' ', $length) - 1; if($whitespaceposition > 0) { $chars = count_chars(mb_substr($text, 0, ($whitespaceposition + 1)), 1); if ($chars[ord('<')] > $chars[ord('>')]) { $whitespaceposition = mb_strpos($text, ">", $whitespaceposition) - 1; } $text = mb_substr($text, 0, ($whitespaceposition + 1)); } // close unclosed html tags if(preg_match_all("|(<([\w]+)[^>]*>)|", $text, $aBuffer)) { if(!empty($aBuffer[1])) { preg_match_all("|</([a-zA-Z]+)>|", $text, $aBuffer2); if(count($aBuffer[2]) != count($aBuffer2[1])) { $closing_tags = array_diff($aBuffer[2], $aBuffer2[1]); $closing_tags = array_reverse($closing_tags); foreach($closing_tags as $tag) { $text .= '</'.$tag.'>'; } } } } } return $text; } ---- Server IP: 217.160.235.204 Probable Submitter: 193.24.33.227 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97349 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97349/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97349/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97349/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97349/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97349/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97349/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97349 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97349 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
