If you want to limit multiple occurences of any char in a sequence you might want to use this
function.
<?php
function limit_char_repeat($string,$maxrepeat){
return
preg_replace("/(.)\\1{".$maxrepeat.",}/ms",str_repeat('\1',$maxrepeat),$string);
}
?>
Example:
<?php
$string="
---------------------
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeello Woooooooooooooooorld!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
===============================================================================================================
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ~ ~
";
echo limit_char_repeat($string,5);
?>
Output:
-----
Heeeeello Wooooorld!!!!!
