hantousha Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 <? $out = preg_replace('/^(.{701}[^.]*).*/i','$1.',$detrsltnewsrow[news_desc]); echo $out; ?> </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="para" style="padding-left:10px;"> <?= substr(stripslashes(trim($detrsltnewsrow[news_desc])),701) ?> </td></tr> I have the above snippet.. The first php statement, basically grasp the first 701 characters with the closet next stop "." character and out puts it. then out puts the HTML tags I have a problem with the second statement. I want to output anything after what has been outputted by: <? $out = preg_replace('/^(.{701}[^.]*).*/i','$1.',$detrsltnewsrow[news_desc]); echo $out; ?> So need the correct syntax for <?= substr(stripslashes(trim($detrsltnewsrow[news_desc])),701) ?> Currently it breaks at exactly the 701 character, want it to continue from the sentence the first code ended in.
