Splitting HTML Content

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 08.2006

Hello all, here’s one for you.

I have a very large quantity of text that was converted to HTML. Nothing fancy, no CSS, just tags added here and there (italics, bold, paragraphs) for formatting.

I want to split these large text quantities into smaller individual files to display one at a time, much like pages of a book.

However, does anyone know a good way to parse out so I don’t split words or leave tags hanging open?

Just curious, I can live with plain text, but I’d love to not have to convert all of this and loose formatting.

Oh and alternate languages are fine, I just use PHP a lot so I was hoping to find an answer here.

@themartySep 08.2006 — you say it has paragraphs: you could explode on the </p> tag. That way you're sure the parts you get are meaningfull. You could do an additional loop through the array you create that way and determine with strlen() if the parts are big enough and if not, to join it with the next part. And of course to add the </p> tag again.

Success!
