note 34513 added to function.array-slice

I'm new at this, and I didn't get any help from my friend Ryan, but this works great for breaking a string up into fractions. I used it for creating faux columns from one string on an html page. Enjoy! function fraction_words($numerator,$denominator,$string){ $string_as_array = explode(" ",$string); $wordcount = str_word_count($string); $offset = ceil((($wordcount/$denominator)*$numerator) - ($wordcount/$denominator)); $length = ceil($wordcount/$denominator); $fraction_words = join(" ",array_slice($string_as_array,$offset,$length)); return $fraction_words; } echo fraction_words(1,4,$your_string); This will return the first fourth of $your_string. Anybody smart out there...please help me with my boolean logic for the offset calculation if it's redundant... ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-slice.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34513 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34513&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34513&report=yes
