Donald Trump, derider of Mexican illegal immigrants, insulter of POWs and GOP front-runner, kicked journalist Jorge Ramos out of a press conference Tuesday evening. The billionaire later allowed Ramos back into the press conference, where the two engaged in several lengthy exchanges that dominated the remainder of the event. But none of those exchanges provided the moment that will be repeated in endless loops on cable TV, shared on social media and discussed in Hispanic TV-watching households across the country.

Summarized Post

Donald Trump, the person who ridicules illegal immigrants from Mexico, the person who insults prisoners of war and the most popular republican candidate, kicked journalist Jorge Ramos out of a meeting Tuesday night. The billionaire later allowed Ramos back into the meeting, where they both had several long talks that took over the rest of the event. But none of those talks gave away the moment that will be repeated in endless loops on cable TV, shared on social media and discussed in Hispanic TV-watching homes nationwide.

This is a demonstration of how a summarizing program might work using PHP's native, built-in REGEX function to re-word news articles and similar documents into something much easier to digest. The above is an example, taken from washingtonpost.com on Tuesday, August 25th, 2015.

Obviously, this project was meant to meet the needs of works best on this one article stub. But, hopefully you can see the utility use for such a product/service.
