   I found this code on-line as I am trying to return 140 characters for multibyte Japanese characters on a custom front page, but I am doing something wrong as it is not returning anything. I am not sure if is because strip_tags is not a defined function. Can someone please tell me what I need to get this to work? Thank you.

   front.php -
   

   <?php
       $recentPosts = new WP_Query();
       $recentPosts->query('showposts=5');
   ?>
   <?php while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) : $recentPosts->the_post(); ?>
   
   <li><a>" rel="bookmark"><?php echo winexcerpt(140); ?></a></li>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   functions.php -
   

   function winexcerpt( $length ) {
      global $post;
      $content = mb_substr(strip_tags($post->post_content),0,$length);
      return $content;
   }
