Cleaning up code from HTML, JavaScript and White Space

by Nikolaenko Maxim · Published October 25, 2012 · Updated August 8, 2018

Compiled a script from different parts of the code, found on the internet, for yourself when counting the number of words in the text. There were some good scripts, but now I don't remember where they are.

Write about your scripts, send yours and if you want, I will make a review for you, or you can write it yourself, and i will check. Good luck with development.

	function cleanTextHtml($text){
	$search = array ("'<script[^>]*?>.*?</script>'si",  // Вырезается javascript 
					 "'<[\/\!]*?[^<>]*?>'si",           // Вырезаются html-тэги 
					 "'([\r\n])[\s]+'",                 // Вырезается пустое пространство 
					 "'&(quot|#34);'i",                 // Замещаются html-элементы 
					 "'&(amp|#38);'i", 
					 "'&(lt|#60);'i", 
					 "'&(gt|#62);'i", 
					 "'&(nbsp|#160);'i", 
					 "'&(iexcl|#161);'i", 
					 "'&(cent|#162);'i", 
					 "'&(pound|#163);'i", 
					 "'&(copy|#169);'i" 
	); 

	$replace = array ("", 
					  "", 
					  "\\1", 
					  "\"", 
					  "&", 
					  "<", ">", 
					  " ", 
					  chr(161), 
					  chr(162), 
					  chr(163), 
					  chr(169) 
	); 

	$text = preg_replace($search, $replace, $text); 	
	return $text;
	}

function cleanTextHtml($text){

$search = array ("'<script[^>]*?>.*?</script>'si", // Вырезается javascript
