note 81236 added to function.wordwrap

I wrote a justification function for a project of mine. It uses the wordwrap function and provides four justification options: * Left; typically, the leftmost words receive the most padding * Right; vice versa; the rightmost words receive the most padding * Both; tries to evenly distribute the padding among leftmost and rightmost words * Average; most complicated, uses an average of the three previous algorithms. I'd say this one produces the best result as it's more distributed in the center. It does not justify the last line. <?php define('JPAD_LEFT', 1); // More spaces are added on the left of the line define('JPAD_RIGHT', 2); // More spaces are added on the right of the line define('JPAD_BOTH', 4); // Tries to evenly distribute the padding define('JPAD_AVERAGE', 8); // Tries to position based on a mix of the three algorithms function justify($input, $width, $mode = JPAD_AVERAGE) { // We want to have n characters wide of text per line. // Use PHP's wordwrap feature to give us a rough estimate. $justified = wordwrap($input, $width, "\n", false); $justified = explode("\n", $justified); // Check each line is the required width. If not, pad // it with spaces between words. foreach($justified as $line) { if(strlen($line) != $width) { // Split by word, then glue together $words = explode(' ', $line); $diff = $width - strlen($line); while($diff > 0) { // Process the word at this diff if ($mode == JPAD_BOTH) $words[$diff / count($words)] .= ' '; else if($mode == JPAD_AVERAGE) $words[(($diff / count($words)) + ($diff % count($words)) + (count($words) - ($diff % count($words)))) / 3] .= ' '; else if($mode == JPAD_LEFT) $words[$diff % count($words)] .= ' '; else if($mode == JPAD_RIGHT) $words[count($words) - ($diff % count($words))] .= ' '; // Next diff, please... $diff--; } } else { $words = explode(' ', $line); } $final .= implode(' ', $words) . "\n"; } // Return the final string return $final; } ?> Examples of output for the average algorithm: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
