[PHP] HTML Parsing

[AshMan]

I have a string that looks like this:

$String = "<H2>This is a header</H2>
<P>This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text. </P>

<P>This is even more sample text. This is even more sample text. Sample text is cool!</P>"

I'd like a small script to output the first 100 characters of the content of the first <P></P> tags. Can this be done? If so, please can someone post some example code?

I am almost positive there is a better way to remove the line feeds.. however this works for me in PHP5.

As a side note:

You might consider starting your variables with lowercase letters, many people associate names that start with a capital with objects. I suppose this situation is harder to come by in PHP as variables all start with $. :)

If you want to start following the XHTML standard, start using lowercase tag names as well. :)

<?
$String = "<H2>This is a header</H2>
<P>This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text. </P>
<P>This is even more sample text. This is even more sample text. Sample text is cool!</P>";
$tmpstr = str_replace("\r", "", $String);
$tmpstr = str_replace("\n", "", $tmpstr);
preg_match("/^<h2>.*?<\/h2><p>(.*?)<\/p>/i", $tmpstr, $matches);
print substr($matches[1], 0, 100);
