Removing everything BUT Images in a WordPress Post
A while back I wrote an article on Removing Images from a WordPress Post. Sebastian asked an interesting question; he wanted to remove everything but the images. This is actually pretty straightforward; here is how you do it:
. . . <?php $beforeEachImage = "<div>"; $afterEachImage = "</div>"; preg_match_all("/(<img [^>]*>)/",get_the_content(),$matches,PREG_PATTERN_ORDER); for( $i=0; isset($matches[1]) && $i < count($matches[1]); $i++ ) { echo $beforeEachImage . $matches[1][$i] . $afterEachImage; } ?> . . .
Keep in mind this code needs to be in the WordPress Loop and you can control what is around each image using the variables beforeEachImage and afterEachImage above.

Hi Chris,
This is amazing! Is there a way to put each image into an array? I want to use your other example with this one to create a custom excerpt.
thanks.
