note 25843 added to function.substr-replace

To abbreviate links into '...' if they outreach a certain amount of space; use the preg_replace function instead. For instance you grabbed the headlines of a news site for use on your own page and the lines are to long: asuming the raw material is stored in $unedited; $edited = preg_replace("/(>)([[:print:]]{52,})(<)/e", "'\\1'.substr_replace('\\2 ', '...', '48').'\\3'", $unedited); echo $edited; This will shorten strings longer than 52 characters into 51 characters, with the last being three dots... -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr-replace.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+25843 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+25843 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+25843
