[Resolved] auto space on long words

[nagasea]

how to create a script to add "space" on a long words.

example : thisiswordsthatweputtogetherinthislinethisisbad becausehardtoread

into:
thisiswords thatweput together

(it's okay to cut the letter randomly, i just want to make sure user can't write word in one line wihtout space)

You can't split the words if it is all one. You can use substr() to limit length, but without any spaces, php will see it as one word

[nagasea]

so there's no way to split word with long letters?

there... this forum can automatically cut the thisissolongtest(20 times)
how they do it ?

[xblue]

amongst other possibilities it can be done with regular expressions. example (untested)

$str = preg_replace("/\w{20}/", "$0 ", $str);

if a sequence of 20 "word" characters (\w - letter or digit or underscore) is detected, a space is inserted after it.

It probably uses something involving [man]wordwrap[/man],

Before you output your data(Change 150 to fit whatever you want):

$contents = wordwrap($contents, 150, ' ', 1);
