I need to be able to grab the first 10 words or so from a HTML laden text string that is held in a db table field where the typical field content might be as follows below. After the processing, being left with only the straight text with punctuation would be fine
<p><img src="/files/Screen%20img.png" alt="Fresh food makes for a great snack." width="180" height="272" style="float: right;" /> </p> <p>Target bodu content begins here <em>and</em> may have any html tags interspersed. Plus, users can users can use parens (anywhere) too.</p> <br />------<br /> <p>Another paragraph</p> I'm checking to see if over the years a best practice technique with regexp or php funcs has been established to readily sove this classic display challenge. Thanks for any <input />. Warmest regards, Peter Sawczynec Technology Dir. blūstudio 941.893.0396 <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <http://www.blu-studio.com> www.blu-studio.com
