Note Submitter: willa4you at inwind dot it ---- I'm doing a little Guestbook for my site, and I want that the php code read the message text word by word, to control their lenght. But, I have first to control that the following word is not a piece of html code, so I write this control: $stringa = '<a href="http://www.google.com>Ciao dall'Italia!</a>'; $code = substr($stringa, 0, 1); if ($code == "<"){ $a = strpos($stringa, ">"); $elab = substr($stringa, 0, $a+1); $stringa = substr($stringa, $a+1);} ... ... ... My problem is that when it does this control for the first time, $code takes the value of h, because substr begin from "http://" not from "<a... ". How can I explain this? Thank you for your attenction and sorry for my maccheroni/English...
