String length abbreviator


mort

Recommended Posts

Hey

You know when you get extra long URL's and some forums seem to abbreviate it using a few ...'s once it hits a certain length. Anyone point me in the right direction, or have a function to do this?

Want to use it for a) splitting up long strings, and b) for going through a string to look for stupidly long sections in the string not seperated by a space (which can destory tables and css positioning real good.

cheers :)

$address="http://www.thisisaveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryloooooooongurl.com";
echo '<a href="'.$address.'">'.substr($address, 0, 15).'...</a>';

u will need to add somthign to check that it is over 15 chars using strlen to return the value but there's the basics

Regards
Liam
