setence problem - lets get rid of this!!

[madhavr]

i have started with something as follows ....

function new_line($text,$limit, $x, $y) { 
        $word = strtok($text,' '); 
        while ($word) { 
                if (strlen($line.$word) > $limit) { 
                        $string .= "$line"; 
                        $line = ''; 
                  $y += 100; 
                } // end if 
                $line .= ' '.$word; 
                $word = strtok(' '); 
        } // end while 
        if (!empty($line)) $string .= $line; 
       //  return $string; 
      // printer_drawtext($string, $x, $y); 
      printer_draw_text($handle, $string, $x, $y); 

but its flawed

it prints like .....

one two three
one two three four five
one two three four five six

instead of one two three four
five six

etc

please see if you can do anything

y is the vertical cordinate so we can leave that alone.

thanks

ok here is my own attempt at this but its bugged....

please have a look i think its a stupid mistake thats causing it

function new_line_print($theWord,$limit) {

//$theWord = "one two three four five six seven eight";

$text = trim($theWord);
$words = explode(" ",$text);
$SentenceArray = array();
$sentence_count = 0;
$the_sentence= "";
for ($i=0; $i<count($words);$i++) {

// echo strlen($words[$i])."<br>";


			// } else {
			$next_sentence = strlen($sentence.$words[$i]+1); 
			if ($next_sentence > $limit)  {	
				$sentence_count ++;
				$SentenceArray[$sentence_count] = $the_sentence;
				echo "sentence ".$SentenceArray[$sentence_count]." now contains ".$the_sentence."<br><br>";
				$the_sentence = "";
					$next_sentence = "";
					} else {

			}// end if
echo "keep going!<br><br>";
					$the_sentence.=" ".$words[$i];
					echo "added words<br><br>";
					echo "word is now: ".$the_sentence."<br><br>";
					echo "word length is : ".strlen($the_sentence)."<br><br>";


} // end for

} // end function

echo new_line_print('one two three four five six seven eight',25);

thanks

I feel like I have done this before 🙂

<?
                $next_sentence = strlen($the_sentence.$words[$i])+1;
echo "ns=$next_sentence ";
                if ($next_sentence > $limit)  {
                    $SentenceArray[$sentence_count] = $the_sentence;
                    echo "sentence ".$SentenceArray[$sentence_count]." now contains ".$the_sentence."<br><br>";
                    $sentence_count ++;
                    $the_sentence = "";
                    $next_sentence = "";
                } else {

            }// end if
?>

im having glitch below....

basically the word six seems to have disappeared...

function new_line_print($theWord,$limit) {

//$theWord = "one two three four five six seven eight";

$text = trim($theWord);
$words = explode(" ",$text);
$SentenceArray = array();
$sentence_count = 0;
$the_sentence= "";
for ($i=0; $i<count($words);$i++) {
$limit = 25;
// echo strlen($words[$i])."<br>";


$next_sentence = strlen($the_sentence.$words[$i])+1; 
echo "ns=$next_sentence<br>"; 

            if ($next_sentence > $limit)  { 
                $SentenceArray[$sentence_count] = $the_sentence; 
                echo "sentence :".$SentenceArray[$sentence_count]." now contains ".$the_sentence."<br><br>"; 
                $sentence_count++; 
                $the_sentence = ""; 
                $next_sentence = ""; 
				echo "<b>cleared sentence</b><br>";
            } else { 
				// echo "keep going!<br><br>";
				$the_sentence.=" ".$words[$i];
				echo "added words<br><br>";
				echo "word is now: ".$the_sentence."<br><br>";
				echo "word length is : ".strlen($the_sentence)."<br><br>";
            }// end if 


} // end for

} // end function




echo '<br><hr>';
new_line_print("one two three four five six seven eight",25);

please rectify if you know what the problem is

thanks

i think i have solved my problem it seems to be behaving the way i want.

now i just need to do the output via printer_draw_text

function new_line_print($theWord,$limit) {

//$theWord = "one two three four five six seven eight";

$text = trim($theWord);
$words = explode(" ",$text);
$SentenceArray = array();
$sentence_count = 0;
$the_sentence= "";
for ($i=0; $i<count($words);$i++) {
$limit = 25;
// echo strlen($words[$i])."<br>";


$next_sentence = strlen($the_sentence.$words[$i])+1; 
// echo "ns=$next_sentence<br>"; 

            if ($next_sentence > $limit)  { 
                $SentenceArray[$sentence_count] = $the_sentence; 
				// echo "we have reached the limit<br>";
                echo "sentence 1 :".$SentenceArray[$sentence_count]." now contains ".$the_sentence."<br><br>"; 
                $sentence_count++; 
                $the_sentence = ""; 
                $next_sentence = ""; 
				// echo "<b>cleared sentence</b><br>";
				$i--;
            } else { 
				// echo "keep going!<br><br>";
				$the_sentence.=" ".$words[$i];
				$SentenceArray[$sentence_count] = $the_sentence; 
				// echo "added words<br><br>";
				 echo "word is now: ".$the_sentence."<br><br>";
				  echo "sentence 2 :".$SentenceArray[$sentence_count]."<br>";
				// echo "word length is : ".strlen($the_sentence)."<br><br>";
            }// end if 


} // end for
echo "<hr>";
	for ($i=0; $i<count($SentenceArray);$i++) {
	echo $SentenceArray[$i]."<br>";
	}


} // end function




echo '<br><hr>';
new_line_print("one two three four five six seven eight nine ten ",25);

cheers to halfabee you really helped me out dude !!!
