string offset help

[dennismonsewicz]

I have the following function:

 

function string_into_parts($text, $length=45) {
            $text = strval(trim($text));
            $array = array();
            $counter = 0;
            if(strlen($text) > $length) {
                for($i=0;$text[$length+$i]!=" ";$i++) { //line 67
                    if(!$text[$length+$i]) { //line 68
                        return $text;
                    }
                }
                $array['firstHalf'] = trim(substr($text,0,$length+$i));
                $array['secondHalf'] = trim(substr($text,$length+$i));
            } else {
                $array['firstHalf'] = $text;
                $array['secondHalf'] = '';
            }
            return $array;
    }

 

but if you run it on a string that contains an individual number, IE: it broke into 2 pieces, the script fails and I receive the Uninitialized string offset error message. The script fails at lines 67 & 68.

 

Anyone know why this could be failing?

 

Thanks in advance!

Nothings wrong with the code. Just seems like a lot of lines to do just this:

$length=45;
$str='this is a test for the string length split it should work just fine with a lot less code';
$max=strlen("$str");
$sub1=substr("$str", 0, "$length");
$sub2= substr("$str", "$length","$max" );
echo "$sub1::$sub2";
