Re: Counting HTML Lines

[Jeffrey <jeffreyb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

HTML doesn't do anything with long lines of text. But browsers will wrap 
the lines to fit within the confines of the page or table cell.

You can use the wordwrap function to break the string into lines (broken 
by \n) of a set number of characters. And then  use ereg_replace to 
replace the \n's with <br>'s and then use substr_count to count how many 
<br>'s you have in the string.

Good luck,
