Hi, Does it possible obtain a function to clear html tags on my description. I want use 260 char of my description in the <meta description="MY PRODUCT DESCRIPTION NO HTML">

 

Thanks for your reponse

Something like this:

 

substr(strip_tags($description), 0, 260);

This will remove special characters also:

substr(preg_replace('[^a-zA-Z0-9]',' ',(strip_tags($name['$description']))),0,260);

I read that google only reads the first 250 chars. Others read more. I guess ti's your decision.
