PHP String Replace

No, but I should have an I am. I am using the TinyMCE javascript component
to add WYSWIG functionality. In addition to this, my input forms should do
a search and replace to ensure all paragraphs have the request tags.

Did he say he was using such a beast?

Rich text editors (like KTML or FCKEditor) convert user content into
(X)HTML for insertion into the database.

Are you sure there are <p> tags in the data? The only way that could get
there would be if someone explicitly put them there.

LOL, just now getting back to this.

I've got myself in a little bit of a bind, b/c I didn't foresee my data
having more than one paragraph.

This is what I'm thinking of doing. If there's a better way, can somebody
pipe in?

Take data from database.
Search for <p> tags, and capture all text within the first instances
Limit text to X number of chars
Replace <p> tags, and my ...Full Story links

Looking now through all of the string functions and preg_replace right now.

Basically, I"m having some problems finding a function that will replace
$var on the Xth instance.

Will post tomorrow with my results.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php

In particular, the optional 4th parameter to preg_replace() is a limit;
you can set this to 1.
