Hey guys!
I'm writing a guestbook with mysql. My probblem is that when user enter at long word
like blablablablablablablablablablablabla my html-tables gets screwed up. If someone
is just fooling around the whole page design can be destroyed. I want to know how I
can make sure that no word is longer than x characters. If a word should be longer
than that, I would like the word divided into smaller parts with a - character at the
end of the first word like this:
"this is a text in the guestbook.
if there is a really long word
like blablablablablablablabla-
blablabla it is divided into
smaller parts and a - char
is added to the first word."
I thought about reading the whole message into an array, and then loop through it and
for each word check whether it is larger than x chars, and if so, change it. But
couldn't that be a very memory consuming script if it should do that for every
message? Anyone knows how I could do this?
