Re: [fw-general] Good HTML to plain ASCII class

[Jan Pieper]

I am using following function to convert HTML to plain text:

function stripHTML($text)
{
    // lists
    $text = preg_replace("/<li>/i", "* ", $text);
    $text = preg_replace("/<\/li>/i", "\r\n", $text);
    
    // tables
    $text = preg_replace("/<\/td>/i", "\t", $text);
    $text = preg_replace("/<\/th>/i", "\t", $text);
    $text = preg_replace("/<\/tr>/i", "\r\n", $text);
    
    // linebreaks
    $text = preg_replace("/<br[^>]+>|<br>/i", "\r\n", $text);
    $text = preg_replace("/<\/p>/i", "\r\n\r\n", $text);
    $text = preg_replace("/<\/div>/i", "\r\n", $text);
    
    // strip rest
    $text = strip_tags($text);

    while (strpos($text, "\r\n\r\n\r\n") !== false) {
        $text = str_replace("\r\n\r\n\r\n", "\r\n\r\n", $text);
    }

    return trim($text);
}

Don't know whether it is a good way to convert HTML to text, but it works :-)
