Question

I was wondering how on a given post that contains HTML also, to

strip_tags($entry->description);

from char 0 to 300 and from 301 to end of post allow only <b><p><br>

strip_tags($entry->description, '<b><p><br>');

I am looking for a way that does not kill performance though, because I want the page to load fast.

Thank you.

Just strip_tags() the two parts separately:

$start = strip_tags(substr($entry->description, 0, 300));
$rest = strip_tags(substr($entry->description, 300), '<b><p><br>');
$start . $rest;
