    any idea how to count paragraphs of a post so that I could insert ads etc after x paragraphs?

    i know there are plugins already but i prefer to work without plugins

    am looking to add something to functions.php, or else to single.php and page.php

    <?php
    $paragraphAfter= 1; //shows image after paragraph 1
    $content = apply_filters('the_content', get_the_content());
    $content = explode("</p>", $content);
    for ($i = 0; $i <count($content); $i++) {
    if ($i == $paragraphAfter) { ?>
<div>INSERT HTML STUFF HERE</div>
    <?php
    }
    echo $content[$i] . "</p>";
    } ?>

    added this to single.php
