[PHP] Newline in a guestbook
Hey guys! I'm writing a guestbook with mysql. My probblem is that when user enter at long word like blablablablablablablablablablablabla my html-tables gets screwed up. If someone is just fooling around the whole page design can be destroyed. I want to know how I can make sure that no word is longer than x characters. If a word should be longer than that, I would like the word divided into smaller parts with a - character at the end of the first word like this: this is a text in the guestbook. if there is a really long word like blablablablablablablabla- blablabla it is divided into smaller parts and a - char is added to the first word. I thought about reading the whole message into an array, and then loop through it and for each word check whether it is larger than x chars, and if so, change it. But couldn't that be a very memory consuming script if it should do that for every message? Anyone knows how I could do this?

Dont! look at the wordwrap function, in short in works like this: echo wordwrap ($body, $length, br); read more here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.wordwrap.php -- Henrik Hansen -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can also use the strlen() function. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.
