Thing is, I'm expecting input like: ------------ Hi I aM sOmeBodY whO Is anNoyiNg *-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*= looK heRe: <a href="www.somewhere.com/some/long/path/exceeding/30/chars/and/even?more=notless">www.somewhere.com/some/long/path/exceeding/30/chars/and/even?more=notless</a> ------------ this long line of sequential characters causes the website interface to stretch and thus needs to be "wrapped". Using php's wordwrap() function won't do, cuz it will also wrap the URL so I'd be looking for some function that only "adds some whitespace" to strings outside < and > signs. Or: "not between < and >" (input is shown as it eventually reaches the mentioned calls - I do not actually allow thtml to be entered :P) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
