[PHP] Re: limiting lines

[James, Yz]

Hiya Dan,

If you're expecting new lines, you could do this:

$length = explode(\n, $message);

if (sizeof($length)  55) {
// error
}

And also limit the number of characters, using strlen()

 Hi,

 I would like to run a variable of unlimited length through a filter that
 would limit its length to 55 lines (ie limiting it's length to less than 1
 printed page).  Does anyone know of an easy way to do this?

 thanks.

 Regards,

 Dan Barber

Re: [PHP] Re: limiting lines

[dan]

Thanks for the quick answers. 

Problem is, the only new lines are at the end of paragraphs, so that, in
effect, is limiting them to 55 paragraphs.  I'm using a textarea
wrap=physical which says that it adds a %0A%0D (carriage return/line
feed) at the end of each line.  

Anyone know how to convert that to a \n ?

thanks again.
