I just finished looking through string functions http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php and can't find one that inserts a character, not replaces one.
If there's a string that's over 50 chars long without a space, I want to insert a space without replacing or losing any of the original characters. Is there a function to do that?
advance thanks, Dale
I should add that, unless there's a function that does it all, I'm not really concerned with the finding the 50th char part. I know there's other funcs for that kind of thing. It's just that all I'm trying to do is make sure that when the string is output, it will wrap to the width of a table and not stretch the table width to suit it's fancy. If I manufacture a function to do all of the little things necessary to make this thing wrap, it seems like a lot of ugly code to do a simple task.
Use substr_replace() and set the length value to 0. Here's an example:
$text = "Thistext"; echo "$text<br />"; $text = substr_replace($text, " ", 4, 0); echo $text;
Test it and you will see that a space is added into the text without replacing any of it.
