Use another variable for "short" URL, let's say $DSU.
// This is for "long" URL
$str=ereg_replace('\$DU', $nolangurl, $str);
} else
$str=ereg_replace('\$DU', $url, $str);
// This is for "short"
$str=ereg_replace('\$DSU', substr($nolangurl,0,50), $str);
} else
$str=ereg_replace('\$DSU', substr($url,0,50), $str);
