[RESOLVED] regular expressions gsplit string by html tags

sascha

Hello,

i have a little problem with string and html tags ...
I need to split a string by any html tag and get the textparts without the tags but separated by parts
so for example:
3 parts =
"lorem ispum<li>dolor</li>";

so 1 = lorem ; 2= ipsum; 3 = dolor;

or "lorem ipsum dolor"; = also 3 parts like above

at this point i get all but not the br Tags

$fieldCounter = 0; // counter für feldanzahl
$fieldCounter2 = 0; // counter für zerstückelung

foreach( $resNew as $k4 =>$v4 ){
$fieldCounter ++;

	echo '<br><br>fieldcounter: ';echo $fieldCounter; echo '<br>String: '; echo $v4; echo '<br>';



	    // with preg_match_all string split with tags  
   // regex   for html tags  -> anything but not br br // maybe all single tags
//      $html_regex1 = '|<[^>]+>(.*)</[^>]+>|U';
			  $html_regex1 = '|<[^>]+>(.*)</[^>]+>|U';

	$vorkommen = preg_match_all( $html_regex1,$v4, $ar_treffer, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER );
	echo 'treffer: ';        echo $vorkommen; echo '<br>';
	echo 'sizeof artreffer '; echo sizeof($ar_treffer[1]); echo '<br>';
	for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($ar_treffer[0]); $i++){

			echo '<br>artreffer[0][i]: '; echo $partString = strip_tags($ar_treffer[0][$i]);echo '<br>';
			$fieldCounter2 ++;
			echo 'fieldcounter2 : '; echo $fieldCounter2;	
	}

}

i hope somebody have an idea for my problem

in these string could be no html or only br s and a mix off all

thanks for ur help

How about...

$parts = preg_split('/<[^>]*>/', $text);
// show result:
echo "<pre>";
print_r($parts);
echo "</pre>\n";

...?
