How limit html tags in PHP

Hi is there any function that can limit or remove more than 1 img tags in a string?

<?php
$string = "<img src=1> this is text <img src=2> <img src=3> here\'s some text <img src=4>";
echo limitImage($string);

function limitImage {
// Some function to do remove more than 1 img tags ..
}
?>

thanks..

 

Take a look at strip_tags() -- http://us.php.net/strip-tags

 

thanks.. but i think it will remove all the image tags.. i want to limit it.

 

Find out how many img tags there are in the string.

If there is more than one, change the first one to something else, strip the rest of the image-tags and put back in the first one.

I cant write any code right now, I have a baby watching Totoro in my arm, but the above should be pretty easy.

 

i am a novice ... pls hlp..

 

You can use preg_replace()
Please write what you exactly want "echo limitImage($string);" to show with your example if you want more help.

 

Hi..
I want to find all image tags in the string, keep the first image (img tag) and remove all others. basically to show just one image..if string contains 2 or more images..

 

function limitImage($string)
{
	$string = preg_split('/(<img[^>]+>)/i', $string, 2, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
	return $string[0] . $string[1] . strip_tags($string[2]);
}
