Issue with the truncation on xhtml code

    Hello,
    I think there is a problem with the php function which is supposed to strip xhtml code from the description:

    Some feeds I’m trying to read, has a “read more” link at the end of the description tag.

    <description><![CDATA[<img src="https://patriotreign.playitusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/week16-150x150.jpg" alt="week16" srcset="https://patriotreign.playitusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/week16-150x150.jpg 150w, https://patriotreign.playitusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/week16-300x300.jpg 300w, https://patriotreign.playitusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/week16-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px">Feste indigeste Arriva la week sedici ed arriva anche la terza sconfitta, quella che molti si aspettavano, la più prevedibile, se non altro per quanto di buono mostrato dai Jets nel primo appuntamento andato in onda a Foxboro in questa stagione, che aveva fatto presagire un ritorno al MetLife stadium proibitivo, e lo è stato... <a href="https://patriotreign.playitusa.com/analisi-giocatori/regular-season-week-16-patriots-jets/" title="Read Regular season week 16 – Patriots @ Jets">Read more ?</a>]]></description>

    Unfortunately, sometimes, it gets truncated just in the middle of the Anchor tag, so the function doesn’t recognize it as xhtml code!

    This is the result:

    Feste indigeste Arriva la week sedici ed arriva anche la terza sconfitta, quella che molti si aspettavano, la più prevedibile, se non altro per quanto di buono mostrato dai Jets nel primo appuntamento andato in onda a Foxboro in questa stagione, che aveva fatto presagire un ritorno al MetLife stadium proibitivo, e lo è stato... <a href="https://patriotreign.playitusa.com/analisi-giocatori/regular-season-week-16-patriots-jets/" ... </li>

    The really bad thing is that everything comes after the rss widget on the page, gets the link’s hover, because the anchor tag is open!

    Any chance to fix?
    this is the feed:
    https://rssmix.com/u/8172648/rss.xml
    The problem appear on the 8th (60 words per feed truncation, default visualization).
    Cheers

    I agree, this problem is due to trimming xhtml at wrong/random pointer. I will check it later with your provided Feed URL and update you.

    I think a found a partial solution, probably won’t work for everything but it works for me.

    The issue was in the default visualization, because you don’t strip the xhtml code in this situation, but if you do it, you will strip the image too.
    So I did basically what you do in the text only/image only situation, and I merged the results:

    default:
	preg_match_all('@<img.*src="([^"]*)"[^>/]*/?>@Ui', $description, $img);
	if(!empty($img)){

		$img = end($img);

		if(isset($img[0]) && $img[0]!=''){
			$img = $img[0];

			$img = current(explode('?', $img));
			$html_arr[$unique_key][]= '<img src="'.$img.'" />' . $this->string_limit_words($this->clean_xhtml($description), $feed_words).' ...';

		}else
			$html_arr[$unique_key][]= $this->string_limit_words($this->clean_xhtml($description), $feed_words).' ...';
	}
break;

    And then moved the following “if block” inside the “image_only” case.

    One feed (the second) doesn’t show the picture, just the text. But at least, the page is ok. Good enough. ??

    Aside this, can I ask you something about the graph API? I can’t find the answer anywhere. Do you think is possible to read the ‘url’ attribute from the ‘enclosure’ tag in the RSS? I would love to show an html5 audio player if the feed has an audio attachment.

    Thanks for your effort.
    cheers
