RE: [PHP-DB] HTML or PHP?
not that this has *anything* to do with databases, but try the nowrap directive in the td containing the URL, i don't think it will work, otherwise you will need to use something like the PHP function wordwrap() enjoy /beau // -Original Message- // From: Jason Caldwell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] // Sent: Wednesday, 3 October 2001 7:20 AM // To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // Subject: [PHP-DB] HTML or PHP? // // // I have a problem that seems like it should be a snap to fix, // but leaves me // feeling frustrated to no end... // // I have a table (HTML) -- 2 Columns.

Hi, Just set the width of the cell the URL is placed in. Something like trtd width='300'$url/tdtd width='300'.../td/tr HTH Dobromir Velev -Original Message- From: Jason Caldwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 2:20 AM Subject: [PHP-DB] HTML or PHP?

RE: [PHP-DB] HTML or PHP?
Without spaces, the URL won't line break... I recommend one of two things... 1) Use a for() or while() loop with substr(), to print out, say, 50 characters per line, then break to the next line, until reaching the end of the string... 2) Use an ellipsis (...) to cut out the middle of the URL if it's too long... Example: echo A HREF=\$url\. (strlen($url) 50? substr($url, 0, 20).substr($url, -20) : $url) ./A\n; That will shorten: A HREF=http://www.somewhere.com/long/url/goes/here/blah/blah/blah/;http: //www.somewhere.com/long/url/goes/here/blah/blah/blah//A To something like: A HREF=http://www.somewhere.com/long/url/goes/here/blah/blah/blah/;http: //www.somewhere...here/blah/blah/blah//A If you wanted more accurate simplifying of URL displays with an ellipsis, you could explode() the URL, using the slash '/' as the delimeter... But that's a bit more complicated to implement from that point on... Doing it that way, you could turn: A HREF=http://www.somewhere.com/long/url/goes/here/blah/blah/blah/;http: //www.somewhere.com/long/url/goes/here/blah/blah/blah//A Into: A HREF=http://www.somewhere.com/long/url/goes/here/blah/blah/blah/;http: //www.somewhere.com/.../blah//A Good luck with whatever method you choose. --Matt -Original Message- From: Dobromir Velev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 2:13 AM To: Jason Caldwell; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] HTML or PHP?
