The next function works with almost any complex xml/xhtml string
<?php
function close_tags($text) {
$patt_open = "%((?<!</)(?<=<)[\s]*[^/!>\s]+(?=>|[\s]+[^>]*[^/]>)(?!/>))%";
$patt_close = "%((?<=</)([^>]+)(?=>))%";
if (preg_match_all($patt_open,$text,$matches))
{
$m_open = $matches[1];
if(!empty($m_open))
{
preg_match_all($patt_close,$text,$matches2);
$m_close = $matches2[1];
if (count($m_open) > count($m_close))
{
$m_open = array_reverse($m_open);
foreach ($m_close as $tag) $c_tags[$tag]++;
foreach ($m_open as $k => $tag) if ($c_tags[$tag]--<=0) $text.='</'.$tag.'>';
}
}
}
return $text;
}
?>
