note 101364 added to function.wordwrap

Say you have a string you want to output to the user, but you want to wordwrap the words with WBR and ampersand-shy-semicolon tags. This will cause the word to break in half in HTML, instead of causing the page to be huge in width. This is extremely useful for displaying full link URLs, as many of them run on forever, and in PHP-BB, that means an entire thread will look ugly, because of one guy posting a link. On the other hand, both the WBR and ampersand-shy-semicolon tags ignore any spaces near them. That means, if you parsed all your PHP-BB inputted data, a sentence would like this: "Thisisasentence." It effectively cuts out the spaces. The solution? Do an str_replace, finding every " " (one space) and replacing it with (" ") spaces, and then wordwrap the entire string with WBR/shy tags, every four spaces. This guarantees that spaces within HTML will be recognized properly in all browsers, while also guaranteeing that no words will fail to wordwrap. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 68.0.209.235 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.wordwrap.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/101364 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101364/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101364/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101364/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101364/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101364/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101364/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101364 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/101364 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
