<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I want to use copy from my database for the meta description.<br />
<br />
Problem is that because there's link breaks, paragraphs and links in the copy it's not really working. Do you know how I could strip the copy of all of this and just show the text?<br />
<br />
This is the php I use to call the text...<br />
<br />
&lt;meta name=&quot;description&quot; content=&quot;&lt;?php echo $row_Recordset1['copy']; ?&gt;&quot;&gt;<br />
<br />
I could also do with limits the text to 200 characters.

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.
