[SOLVED] Getting Imput String to Wrap

[bospa]

I’m new to php and have added a simple code to display where visitor came from.

 

<?php
$referred = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; 
print "<strong>You Got Here From: (if you clicked on a link to get here)</strong>:<br />\n";
if ($referred == "") {
print "Page was directly requested";
}
else {
print "$referred";
}
?>

 

Problem is if the string is too long it goes off the page. Is there a simple way to get this to wrap if it reaches a certain point on the page?

you could use http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.wordwrap.php

Thanks for the fast reply.  I looked at the code and I'm not sure where to place it the code I already have.

The function that rhodesa posted should work great, but keep in mind that not all fonts are monospace fonts, so test it with an all caps link, or force all lowercase on the link.

 

Edit: In response to your question, you run the function with $referred as the input and return it into $referred.

Zhadus is spot on... should look something like this. I think.

 

<?php
$referred = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; 
$referred = wordwrap($referred, 20, "<br />\n", true);
print "<strong>You Got Here From: (if you clicked on a link to get here)</strong>:<br />\n";
if ($referred == "") {
print "Page was directly requested";
}
else {
print "$referred";
}
?>

 

Tweak that 20 to adjust how soon it wraps. For bonus points:

 

else {
echo "<a href=\"".$referred."\">".$referred."</a>";
}
