note 88840 added to function.strlen

Small notice on "kyle dot florence ~at~ gmail dot com" his function. The way his function is now the substr would be performed on a html string and THEN convert it's html entities.. whilst it should convert the html entities before performing the substr in order to get the expected results.. The correct code would be; <?php // Trim a string to specified length and append an end character (default = ...) function str_trim($str, $lim = 32, $chr = '&#8230;') { // If length of string is less than $lim, return string if (strlen($str = htmlentities($str)) <= $lim) return $str; // Else, cut string down to size return substr(htmlentities($str), 0, $lim - 3).$chr; } ?> ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 216.113.38.178 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strlen.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/88840 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88840/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88840/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88840/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88840/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88840/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88840/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88840 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/88840 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
