Here's a very simple HTML tag closer. It doesn't cope with some situations, like when '/' or '>' is contained within the opening tag. function closeHtmlTags($s) { // parse all tags from string preg_match_all("$<([a-z]+)[^\/>]*>$", $s, $open); preg_match_all("$<[\/]([^>]*)>$", $s, $closed); if(count($open[1])) { // parse preg output into, ie.: // array('a'=>1,'div'=>2,'strong'=>1) $op = array_count_values($open[1]); $cl = array_count_values($closed[1]); // for each open tag, substract 1 from // both open and closed tags foreach($op as $k=>$v) { if(isset($cl[$k]) && $cl[$k]) { $op[$k]--; $cl[$k]--; } } // for each open tag left in $op // add the ommited closing tag(s) $out = NULL; foreach(array_reverse($op) as $k=>$v) if($v>0) $out .= str_repeat("</{$k}>", $v); Return $s.$out; } else Return $s; } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+45133 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+45133&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+45133&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
