I made a block in which the titles of the last 11 news articles are being loaded. Because some of the titles are too long. I was wondering how to make all which are longer than 38 symbols to end with "...".
For example:
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - Мultiplayer
and
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - Мultipl...
I managed reach to a point where I could make the "..." appear after each of the titles, but this doesnt serve my purpose, because I want the "..." to appear only after titles longer than 38 symbols. Thanks in advance!
Code:<?
if (eregi("block-pszone.php",$PHP_SELF)) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}
global $prefix, $dbi;
$count_letters = 38;
$content .= "<table width=\"550\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">
<tr>
<td width=\"295\"><table width=\"295\" height=\"5\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">
<tr>
<td><img src=\"http://opit.jpg\" border=\"1\"></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
<td width=\"5\" height=\"222\"> </td>
<td width=\"250\" height=\"222\"><table width=\"250\" height=\"222\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">
<tr>
<td height=\"22\" class=\"row6\">News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class=\"row5\" valign=\"top\" height=\"100%\">";
$a = 1;
$result = sql_query("select title, counter, sid FROM ".$prefix."_stories WHERE topic = '1' order by sid DESC limit 0,11", $dbi);
while(list($title, $counter, $sid) = sql_fetch_row($result, $dbi)) {
$perem1 = stripslashes($title);
$perem2 = substr($perem1, 0, $count_letters) . "...";
$content .= "<a href=\"modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=$sid\">$perem2</a><br>";
}
$content .= " </td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width=\"550\" height=\"5\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>";
?>

This is from the php.net user notes I changed the name to prevent conflict. If your using it on more then one block you might want to add it to the mainfile.php so you don't have to duplicate the function. Use like this:
$perem1=rDots($perem1);
It could be tweaked to take the last to arguements on the fly but this should get you started.
Code:
function rDots($str, $len = 38, $dots = "...") {
if (strlen($str) > $len) {
$str = explode(".", $str);
$dotlen = strlen($dots);
$str = substr_replace($str[0].$str[1].$str[2].$str[3].$str[4], $dots, $len - $dotlen);
}
return $str;
}

OH Sorry I made another BOO BOO.... 
Here use this:
Code:<?
if (eregi("block-pszone.php",$PHP_SELF)) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}
global $prefix, $dbi;
function t2_string($str)
{
$tlength = 38; // EDIT LENGTH OF TITLE
if (strlen($str) > $tlength)
return substr($str, 0, $tlength)."... ";
else
return $str;
}
$content .= "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">
<tr>
<td width=\"295\"><table width=\"295\" height=\"5\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">
<tr>
<td><img src=\"images/topics/news.gif\" border=\"1\"></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
<td width=\"5\" height=\"222\"> </td>
<td width=\"250\" height=\"222\"><table width=\"250\" height=\"222\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">
<tr>
<td height=\"22\" class=\"row6\">News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class=\"row5\" valign=\"top\" height=\"100%\">";
$a = 1;
$result = sql_query("select title, counter, sid FROM ".$prefix."_stories WHERE topic = '1' order by sid DESC limit 0,11", $dbi);
while(list($title, $counter, $sid) = sql_fetch_row($result, $dbi)) {
$content .= "<a href=\"modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=$sid\">". t2_string($title) ."</a><br>";
}
$content .= "</td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width=\"100%\" height=\"5\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>";

Exactly like nukeum posted just switch the function he used to use the one I posted. That will only add the dots to titles longer then 38 chars. |

I have another question. It is posible to load a HTML file in the same block - something like that:
<?
if (eregi("block-pszone.php",$PHP_SELF)) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}
global $prefix, $dbi;
function t2_string($str)
{
$tlength = 38; // EDIT LENGTH OF TITLE
if (strlen($str) > $tlength)
return substr($str, 0, $tlength)."... ";
else
return $str;
}
$content .= "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">
<tr>
<td width=\"295\"><table width=\"295\" height=\"5\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">
<tr>
<td><img src=\"images/topics/news.gif\" border=\"1\"></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
<td width=\"5\" height=\"222\"> </td>
<td width=\"250\" height=\"222\"><table width=\"250\" height=\"222\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">
<tr>
<td height=\"22\" class=\"row6\">News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class=\"row5\" valign=\"top\" height=\"100%\">";
$a = 1;
$result = sql_query("select title, counter, sid FROM ".$prefix."_stories WHERE topic = '1' order by sid DESC limit 0,11", $dbi);
while(list($title, $counter, $sid) = sql_fetch_row($result, $dbi)) {
$content .= "<a href=\"modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=$sid\">". t2_string($title) ."</a><br>";
}
$content .= "</td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width=\"100%\" height=\"5\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table><br><table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\">
<tr>
<td>hier I want to load HTML - http://mysite.com/index3.htm</td>
</tr>
</table>";
