显示来自数据库的富文本

Question

I have stored rich text in my db, and now I would like to show it to the website viewers, but when I echo the content I got this:

<p>sometext</p><strong>text</strong>

I would like to remove the 'P' tags and any other tags from the text. I have used Ckeditor to store the rich text into DB. I could use Ckeditor to show the rich text to the website viewers, but Ckeditor is an editor and I would like only to show the rich text.

Is there any in-built php command to convert the stored text into rich text and display it on my website?

Answer 1

Well "rich text" is has its own format. It's not xml like. So for example, a simple file where I will try to infer formatting of:

Hello
This is bold
This italic

Looks like this in "rich text":

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Calibri;}}
{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.21.2510;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\sa200\sl276\slmult1\lang9\f0\fs22 Hello\par
\b This is bold\b0\par
\i This italic\i0\par
\par
}

So it is not so simple to get this into HTML.

I'ts straight forward on steps to get it into html (some text parsing involved, and a loop) but from your question it doesnt seem like you are (1) aware of it's format, and (2) haven't tried to write code to make it html?

I can add to this answer if you have actually tried on how the parsing steps might go. I can add now but want to get more information so as not to provide useless code, say if you are already using an API that does the deed.

I use Draft.js with React.js but I hope this helps. if you're still facing this issue: You can see the solution in this video

Basically you have to convertToRaw, then JSON.stringify it. Then this can be sent to your backend as a string. To display it, make a GET request for that particular data, then JSON.parse it and then convertFromRaw. Pass this into another RichTextEditor as the editorState but set the readOnly={true}

Find the methods for your particular editor which allows you to convert states and display it.
