Subject: [PHP] substr() on part an ereg() capture


Hi, I have this ereg to turn URLs into links:

eregi_replace("([[:alnum:]]+)://([^[:space:]]*)([[:alnum:]#?/&=])", "<a
href=\"\\1://\\2\\3\" {$t}\">\\1://\\2\\3</a>", $str);

... found it in the manual i think, or maybe on weberdev.com examples


Anyhoo, it places the whole link in between the <a...> and </a>, which
is fine for short links, but on longer links (in my case, around 60+
chars), it messes with my table or CSS layout.

So, I'd like to subtr() the 2nd capture part down to 55 chars or
something IF it's longer than 60, and append a ... to it.

ANY ideas on how this is done?  Or is this beyond regexp??


TIA

Justin
