string break

[DJTim666]

On my website, I am using basic tables and everyone knows if you type something like the following it will stretch the table to unbelievable lengths.

 

Word:

wert23rtw2tergwergwr83dty5754c7n53yv59t7vn358935yhmc5t735ytn75mcn73v5tv78935hym357tvm9357yhc3579thc4tgciwhomhegmvy2893589t3yvn59357y635nic9n5y

 

I want to know if there is an existing function in PHP to break the word when it gets to a certain length.

Doesn't work sorry. Never has worked. If you read through that function, it only wraps WORDS in a string .

[darkfreaks]

if(count($_POST[field]=="300")) {echo "this is the max limit";}

i knew it was to good to be true.  sorry.

try mine it should count the number of letters in a field then if it equals 300 echo

 

<?php
if(count($_POST[field]=="300")) {echo "this is the max limit without doing a break";} else {
if(count($_POST[field]=="301")) print "<br>";} ?>

Once again, posting the field will count all the letters in the field. I only want to count a continuous word.

here you go, i figured out a hack.

first convert your string to "words" with chunk_split  THEN use wordwrap

 

<?php
$longstring = "wert23rtw2tergwergwr83dty5754c7n53yv59t7vn358935yhmc5t735ytn75mcn73v5tv78935hym357tvm9357yhc3579thc4tgciwhomhegmvy2893589t3yvn59357y635nic9n5y";

$maxLength = 50;

$split = chunk_split($longstring,$maxLength);
$wrap = wordwrap($split,$maxLength,"<br>"," ");

echo $wrap;

?>

If you read through, it also mentions a cut argument:

 

string wordwrap ( string $str [, int $width [, string $break [, bool $cut]]] )
