Ignore html and bbcode?

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I've created a function to limit the amount of text according to the amount of words.

However it ruins html and bbcode tags.. . I only want it to have affect on everything else within $text but not bbcode & html.

Heres the code:
<?php

function containText($text, $length) {

$words= explode(' ', $text); // string to array
foreach ($words as $word) {
$break = 0;
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($word); $i++) {
if ($break >= $length) {
$word= wordwrap($word, $length, '-
', true); //add
every $length chars
$break = 0;
}
$break++;

}
$newText[] = $word; //add word to array
}
$text = implode(' ', $newText); //array to string

$text = wordwrap($text, $length, "<br />n");
return $text;
}


$text = "PHPfreaks is awesome!!!!!
Lets Party! [img]http://awesome.gif[/img]
<img src="image.gif"> Yay!
<a href="http://www.phpfreaks.com">Woot</a>
[font=2]BIG![/font]";


print containText($text, 10);

?>
