eregi_replace on URLs with wordwrap

[palpie]

I have a page where people can submit data. I've told it to look for and URL and replace it with a link to that adress. I've also told it to force a wordwrap ("\n") at a specific width, because the page where the text is shown simply is depended on a specific width.

This could result in an URL being cut in half.

Now I'm trying to, after the wordwrap, to look for URL:s in the message and remove all linefeeds in it. But only in the HREF="url" part.

Any suggestions on how I can do this?

I don't understand why you would have a linefeed in an href tag, since the href would have nothing to with the text wrap...can you show us the code you used to force the wordwrap?

An alternative would be to do it like they do in this forum. If a URL is really long, the href stays the same, but the text displayed is shortened. A whole blurb is taken out of the center and replaced with ...
