Recommended Posts

hello! i run a mybb forum and they have the worst support forum so i decided to try my luck here...

 

i have this plugin code and what i want is when the line reachers 30 characters it will go to the next line...

 

here's the code --> 

$post['custom_status_shortened'] = (strlen($post['custom_status']) > 13) ? substr($post['custom_status'],0,30): $post['custom_status'];

thanks in advance to those who can help me... :)

If you have a string containing more than 30 utf characters (you might want to be careful with character counting for special entities, such as the exponential e which's unicode representation consists of two sequences rather than one, which ultimately affects strlen), you can create a copy of the remaining string using substr, then append \n to the string (eventually \r\n for email bodies or whatever), and then concatenate the strings again.

Just an idea.
