从数据库中“切断”HTML值然后在网站上输出

Question

I'm storing an HTML values in my database then I output it on my site.
There was an HTML value that has a "cut off" HTML (I don't have control on the HTML, since I'm getting it on a different website" ), meaning to say, it looks like this

<a href="http://site.com

When I output this on my site I'm having a problem because below those "cut off" HTML, other HTML will be affected, so it looks like this (example)

<a href="http://site.com  <input type="button" value="test" />

My question here is that how would I know if an HTML is being cut off, then if it has been cut off, I want to close it by simple closing it with " or />

Answer 1

A way to see if it's cut off or not would be to look if the amount of <'s is the same as the amount of >'s. So like this:

<?php
list($len, $a, $b) = array(strlen($html), 0, 0);
for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $char = $html[$i++]) {
    if ($char == '<')
        $a++;
    if ($char == '>')
        $b++;
}
$broken = true;
if ($a == $b)
    $broken = false;
