<textarea> after 50 chars an auto break!

[Fsoft]

Hi,

 

There is a text area in my script / form.

 

In the text area when some thing is written, It goes just long and long and Cuts the entire Page.

 

My Text area value is colleted by using this

<?php

$details = $_POST["details"];

?>

 

NOW I want that Before writing the data to file. This variable details must be run by a test.

 

What test? Well After each 50 charters in the $details, It must insert an auto <br> inside of it. And it must continue until it's done with all the charters.

 

For example, If the $details come with 200 Charters.

It must enter 4 <br> each after every 50 Charters.

 

HMM Looks little complicated to me. Thanks a lot Badly waiting for answer

 

FAISAL!

Are you talking about the textarea has to break after 50 char. or the text when displayed on the webpage?

[Fsoft]

The text of text area must Break after 50 chars. And get onto a new line as it does in the editor of here SMF. When we are typing. We don't have to go down, it automatically Breaks I want that ..

 

THANKS for the answer though

Well I don't believe that the textarea can alter the looks of the text at a later point. You must do this in two separate areas.

 

First you must make the textarea have 50 cols.

<textarea cols="50" rows="7">

 

Then later you must put in a break every 50 chars. The easiest way is to use the php function wordwrap.

<?php
$string = wordwrap($text, 50);
?>

 

That should do it for you.

Thanks a lot boss

 

I use this code ;

 

<?php

$form = "<form method=\"post\" action=\"test.php\">
Name : <input name=\"name\" type=\"text\" size=\"20\">
    <input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"submit\">
    </form>
";


if($_POST["submit"] == submit){
$text_out = wordwrap($_POST["name"], 50);

echo $text_out;
}else
{
    echo $form;
}
?>

 

BUT still, When I insert a string into the text and Put a long line, It don't put a <br> after the 50 charters BUT Just appends the page and Increases the page (

 

Ok, If this don't work this ..

 

Tell me an easy code that from a line or MySQL we get a text that is a line (300) charters. I want to print it out BUT I want a <br> after 50 chars

 

Thanks a lot

 

FAISAL!

$post = implode("<br />", str_split($post, 50));

Name : <input name=\"name\" type=\"text\" size=\"20\">
    <input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"submit\">
    </form>
";


if($_POST["submit"] == submit){
$post1 = $_POST["name"];
$post = implode("", str_split($post1, 50));

[DarkWater]

Forgot to put code tags. 

 

$post = implode("<br />", str_split($post1, 50));

 

There.

[runnerjp]

or you could use this

 

<?php  $text = wordwrap($text, 35, "**"); //Where $text is your text that was submitted, 35 is the # of chars before a word wrap, and ** is the break(default is \n)

$arr = explode('**', $text); ?> 

[Fsoft]

Very well done .. But now very small problem the text goes out like this ;
