note 70052 added to function.wordwrap

Here is a way to use wordwrap to add spaces to long "words", without breaking link tags -- I came up with this as there apparently is no way to reproduce this effect with a regular expression. This is mostly used in users-posts where your output layout could be broken with words that are longer than what the container object can take - it will not effect html tags (such as <a href="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"> so you don't end up with broken links ! $body = 'this is a text with aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong word! <a href="http://ww.this.site.com/with/a/loooooooooooooooooooooong/url'> ... </a>'; foreach(explode(" ", strip_tags($body)) as $key => $line) { if (strlen($line) > 35) $body = str_replace($line, wordwrap($line, 25, " ", 1), $body); } (In case you would like the same thing without the tags protection, there is a regular expression way; $body = preg_replace("/([^\s]{35})/","$1 ",$body); ---- Server IP: 216.235.15.211 Probable Submitter: 70.80.9.195 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.wordwrap.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/70052 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70052/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70052/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70052/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70052/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70052/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70052/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70052 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/70052 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
