can someone provide me with php code to help me make this happen?

Question

i want the php code that for every 6 character from a long string, it inserts a break

Answer 1

$len = strlen(str);

$new_str;

for ($i=0;i<$len;$i++)
{
if($i%6==0)
$new_str = $new_str . " ";

$new_str = $new_str . $str[$i]; // or it is $str.chatAt($i) Please refer...
}



I Found a better way! Infact the best i have seen....

if ur string is $str and by break u meant a space (' '), all u have to do is...

$new_str = chunk_split($str,6," ");

i hope u understood... chunk_split(string, no. of chars, the break char)

Answer 2

It's been a while since I've dealt with php syntax, but the concept is fairly simple.

Take you string and loop through every character of it. Inside this loop keep track of a separate counter. With each iteration through the loop, increment your little counter. Also perform a check inside that loop to see if the counter is ever at 6 (whichever number you want it to be). If it is 6, then insert your break character (there is a string function to do inserts at a certain position in the string) and then reset your little counter back to 0. It should perform that check every 6th character and insert the break.

Answer 3

Run a string length routine with a counter. Then each time you have reached the 6th letter you can append the string to another string variable with a space added. When finished with the string copy it back to the original variable or whatever else you want to do with it.

Answer 4

try wordwrap().

The wordwrap function has a couple arguments that may be passed to it.
wordwrap($verylongstring, $chopsize,$splitstring,$alwayschop);

example splitting up every 6th character with
:

$broken = wordwrap($verylongstring,6,"
");

Answer 5

i don't know how to do that, but to make a break after a little while, you can use the
