problem posting comments

Hello, I tried posting the below msg but unfortunately I always received the notice “Your note contains a bit of text that will result in a line that is too long, even after using wordwrap().” I tried to shorten it but as you probably know, php can’t be shorten all the time. That’s where I wanted to leave the msg: http://de.php.net/pcre Regards Jörn 'TheSpook' Berkefeld Managing Director Webmaster ________________________________________________ European Cyber League www.ec-league.org IRC: #ec-league @ QuakeNet ________________________________________________ THE MESSAGE I TRIED POSTING: ============================================= i know there's been quite a lot of submissions on retrieving emails and urls from text but i couldnt but notice that they all had errors that prevented them from working correctly. since im using an javascript to keep emails on my website safe from spider bots i wanted mails in comments to be save as well... you might notice theres also a function included that shortens long url descriptions. i thought some of you might like that as well. unfortunately i had to use a second check function for the email catcher... it simply wouldnt work any other way for me. feel free to put both checks, the preg_replace and the ereg function in one test... <?php function formaturl($url, $title='',$leading_space='', $maxwidth=60, $width1=40, $width2=-15) { $url = str_replace("\r",'',str_replace("\rn",'',str_replace("\n",'',$url))); if(!trim($title)) $title=$url; if(!preg_match("/[a-z]:\/\//si", $url)) $url = "http://$url"; if(strlen($title)>$maxwidth) $title = substr($title,0,$width1)."...".substr($title,$width2); return $leading_space."<a href='$url' target='_blank'>".str_replace("\\\"", "\"", $title)."</a>"; } function format_email($email,$description='',$leading_space='') { $email = trim($email); if(!$description) $description = $email; if( eregi( "^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4})$" , $email) ) return $leading_space."<a href='mailto:$email'>$description</a>"; else return $leading_space.$email; } function prepare_code($out) { global $searcharray,$replacearray,$conn; if(!isset($searcharray) && !isset($replacearray)) { # [URL=xxxx] [URL] www. http:// ftp:// https:// ftps:// $searcharray[]= "/\[url=(['\"]?)([^\"']*)\\1](.*)\[\/url\]/esiU"; $replacearray[]= "formaturl('\\2','\\3')"; $searcharray[]= "/\[url]([^\"]*)\[\/url\]/esiU"; $replacearray[]= "formaturl('$1')"; $searcharray[] = "/(^|\s)(www)\.([^\s<>\.]+)\.([^\s\n<>]+)/esmi"; $replacearray[] = "formaturl('$2.$3.$4','','$1')"; $searcharray[] = "/(^|\s)(http|ftp)(s)?:\/\/([^\s<>\.]+)\.([^\s<>]+)/esmi"; $replacearray[] = "formaturl('$2$3://$4.$5','','$1')"; # [EMAIL=xxxx] [email] test@test.com $searcharray[]= "/\[email=(['\"]?)([^\"']*)\\1](.*)\[\/email\]/esiU"; $replacearray[]= "format_email('$3','$2')"; $searcharray[]= "/\[email]([^\"]*)\[\/email\]/esiU"; $replacearray[]= "format_email('\\1')"; $searcharray[]= "/(^|\s)([_a-z0-9-\.]+)@([_a-z0-9-\.]+)/esmi"; $replacearray[]= "format_email('$2@$3','','$1')"; # can't get the following lines to work - should replace the 2 lines above plus # the ereg check in the format_email function... # does not work if the email looks like this: test@does.not.work.com # for some reason it truncates to test@does.com # i figured it has something to do with finding (\.[a-z0-9-]+) more than once? anyone an idea? # $searcharray[] = "/(^|\s)([_a-z0-9-]+)(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@([a-z0-9-]+)(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2, 4})/esi"; # $replacearray[] = "format_email('$2$3@$4$5$6','','$1')"; } $out = preg_replace($searcharray, $replacearray, $out); return $out; } ?> note that i stripped the javascript function i mentioned above cause the script is easier to read this way. I also sometimes used the \\1 notation for variables and sometimes the new $1 notation in the replacestring. As mentioned in the description of the preg function above this makes no difference at all. =============================================
