Text Overflow

[radar]

I'm currently working on a personal side-project and I would like to know how to get a text box to keep its width without expanding itself because some idiot has not learnt how to use the space bar. I've also found this problem on killablogs if someone posts a long comment it would turn out to be something similar to

As you can see by this screenshot, it pushes the content over to the right and "defaces" the site. Is there a way to get the php to recognise that the word is too long to belong in the english language and insert a <br> somewhere? So instead of lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol you would have

lollollollollollollollollollollollol
lollollollollollollollollollollollol

well...if you can work out how to define $string properly /blum.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' /> ..this should work /biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Code: Select all

<?
$Length = 5;
$string = 'blog_post';

if(strlen($string) > $Length){
    preg_match('/[a-zA-Z0-9]{0,'.$Length.'}/', $string, $t);
    $Output = $t . '<br>';
}
?>
