note 41245 added to function.wordwrap

If you use this wordwrap(), then notice that because it doesn't care about the content format, you want to use it before adding any markup or preferably even before turning html special characters into entities. I'm personally happy with this function as I simply want plain text to put into a <pre> box. What I do is: <?php /* Simple message formatter */ function format_message($message) { $message = wordwrap($message, 80); $message = htmlspecialchars($message); $message = preg_replace( '/(https?|ftp):\/\/[^ \n\r\t\"]+/', '<a href="\0">\0</a>', $message); $message = preg_replace( '/[^ \n\r\t\"]+@[^ \n\r\t\"]+/', '<a href="mailto:\0">\0</a>', $message); return "<pre>\n$message\n</pre>"; } ?> This nicely wraps text to 80 characters, then replaces html special characters, then turns http/https/ftp urls and mail-addresses into links, and finally wraps it into a <pre> box. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.wordwrap.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41245 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41245&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41245&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
