[PHP] wordwrap function (that skips html tags)
hello!
i found a nice function that i would like to use but unfortunately there is
a problem i can not solve.
for my notepool device it would be great to use php's wordwrap function but
because the string that needs to be wordwrapped contains also html tags i
can not use this function like this.
on php.net (manual: wordwrap) i found a user contribution with a wordwrap
function that skips html tags (and forces words to split at a desired
width). the bad thing about it is that in the output some characters are
missing.
example:
as i enter this url into my form:
http://www2.snm-hgkz.ch/~rieger/notepool/addnote.php
that's the output:
h
tp://www2.snm-hgkz
ch/~rieger/notepool/
ddnote.php
(obviously some caracters are missing, the first 't' of http or the 'a' of
addnote.php for instance.)
can you tell me what needs to be modified to get rid of this side effect (or
do you have another idea how to use wordwrap in a way it skips html tags and
forces words to split)?
this is the function:
function sheep_wordwrap($str,$cols,$non_prop,$cut,$exclude1,$exclude2){
$count=0;
$tagcount=0;
$str_len=strlen($str);
//$cut= $cut ;
$calcwidth=0;
for ($i=1; $i=$str_len;$i++){
$str_len=strlen($str);
if ($str[$i]==$exclude1)
$tagcount++;
elseif ($str[$i]==$exclude2){
if ($tagcount0)
$tagcount--;
}
else{
if (($tagcount==0)){
if (($str[$i]==' ') || ($str[$i]==\n))
$calcwidth=0;
else{
if ($non_prop){
if (ereg(([QWOSDGCM#@m%w]+),$str[$i],$matches))
$calcwidth=$calcwidth+7;
elseif (ereg(([I?\|()\]+),$str[$i],$matches))
$calcwidth=$calcwidth+4;
elseif (ereg(([i']+),$str[$i],$matches))
$calcwidth=$calcwidth+2;
elseif (ereg(([!]+),$str[$i],$matches))
$calcwidth=$calcwidth+3;
else{
$calcwidth=$calcwidth+5;
}
}
else{
$calcwidth++;
}
if ($calcwidth$cols){
$str=substr($str,0,$i-1).$cut.substr($str,$i,$str_len-1);
$calcwidth=0;
}
}
}
}
}
return $str;
//moby rules at 5am! :)
}
and here i call it:
$str = $message;
$cols = 100;
$cut = \n;
$non_prop = true;
$exclude1 = ;
$exclude2 = ;
$str = sheep_wordwrap($str,$cols,$non_prop,$cut,$exclude1,$exclude2);
echo $str;
thanks a lot for your help!

Re: [PHP] wordwrap function (that skips html tags)
Hello,
What's your php version?
Take at look at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.wordwrap.php
and
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php
b.e.
$str='http://www2.snm-hgkz.ch/~rieger/notepool/addnote.php';
echo wordwrap(strip_tags($str),8,'br',1);
i you can't use wordwrap(), try:
?
/* written by [EMAIL PROTECTED] */
function wordwraphtml($string,$length,$endline='br',$striphtml=true)
{
if($striphtml)$string=strip_tags($string);
$temp='';
$sublength=strlen($string);
if($sublength$length)return $string;
while($sublength$length)
{
$temp.=substr($string,0,$length).$endline;
$string=substr($string,$length+1);
$sublength=strlen($string);
}
return $temp;
}
$string='a href=http://www.startpunt.cc/a';
echo wordwraphtml($string,8);
?

[PHP] wordwrap doesn't work for customer's Outlook
Is there really no solution to this issue? Is everyone using wordwrap to wrap their newsletter texts, or is there a way that works as well with Ms Outlook? Thanks a lot Recap: - Ms Outlook gets everything on 1 line when I use wordwrap( $text,76,\r\n ). - Ms Outlook shows nice line breaks when they are hard-coded in the script. At 23:33 24.06.02, you wrote: So can anyone tell me what is the difference between wordwrap and these hard-coded lines? Is wordwrap not safe for use in newsletter sending scripts?

[PHP] wordwrap doesn't work for customer's Outlook
Hello What would *you* do if you wordwrap a text and send it via the mail() command, and your costumer gets the whole text on 1 single line? I'm using $newtext = wordwrap( $text,76,\r\n ); He has Outlook. When I'm testing it in my Eudora, in Bat and in Outlook Express, it's wrapped nicely. (So far the headers end with \n and not with \r\n - may this have an influence on the resulting email body? I cannot run 33 tests, because the only one who can test it for me is the customer...)

[PHP] wordwrap doesn't work for customer's Outlook
This is really frustrating: We found two versions of Outlook on different machines, that have been installed with the default settings, that 'eat' the line breaks which were made with PHP's wordwrap() function. There are no line breaks at all! On one of the machines there's also a version of Outlook Express, and this one shows the line breaks. Also in Eudora and in Bat, the line breaks are ok. Important detail, the footer of the newsletter is hardcoded in the PHP script with physical line breaks like \n . \n . Copyright?\n . --\n . These work! So can anyone tell me what is the difference between wordwrap and these hard-coded lines? Is wordwrap not safe for use in newsletter sending scripts? Why is $newtext = wordwrap( $text,76,\r\n ); not sufficient? Thanks a lot -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] wordwrap not working
snip it should print like this: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. but it still printing like this: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. HTML treats bunches of whitespace as one space. Look at the source of the page; you'll see that it's doing what it should. If you want your HTML to appear wordwrapped, modify your PHP to use the 'nl2br()' function: ? $text = The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.; $newtext = nl2br(wordwrap( $text, 20 )); echo $newtext\n; ? This will convert all newlines to br tags, and your HTML output will look just like your text output.

Re: [PHP] wordwrap not working
This may be a nl2br() problem. If you are setting \n as your newline character, it probably needs to be br if your just echoing it. Depending on where it ultimately gets displayed, you'll want one or the other. For example, sending an email message you want \n. Steven J.

[PHP] wordwrap
Hey Hey! I've got a question about wordwrap. It seems that when I run this on a string that contains spaces, if my replacement string happens to fall on a space, the space is removed completely from the string. This isn't good :-\ Any way around this?

Here's the output: A very long wooo ord. Here's what the manual says the output should be: A very long wooo ord. Has anyone else had troubles with the wordwrap() function?

There no tag, but a function wordwrap(). http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.wordwrap.php You need to separate vars into message and comments also.
