Re: [PHP] summarized results w/function

Here is function
function shorten_news_results ($input_text, $ending_text) {
$news_strip=str_word_count($input_text, 1);
$news_split=array_splice($news_strip, 0, 40);
$news_split[]=$ending_text;
$news_story=implode(' ', $news_split);
echo "$news_story";
           }
Trying to split a string down the middle and not break up any kind of HTML 
that's present is difficult without looping through each character and 
keeping track of whether you're in an HTML element or not.

Your original messages says <b> can be used. Is that the only tag? Is it a 
limited set of HTML or can anything be in the text?
