<h1>Text Helper</h1>
|
|
|
60 |
|
|
|
61 |
<p>The Text Helper file contains functions that assist in working with text.</p>
|
|
|
62 |
|
|
|
63 |
|
|
|
64 |
<h2>Loading this Helper</h2>
|
|
|
65 |
|
|
|
66 |
<p>This helper is loaded using the following code:</p>
|
|
|
67 |
<code>$this->load->helper('text');</code>
|
|
|
68 |
|
|
|
69 |
<p>The following functions are available:</p>
|
|
|
70 |
|
|
|
71 |
|
|
|
72 |
<h2>word_limiter()</h2>
|
|
|
73 |
|
|
|
74 |
<p>Truncates a string to the number of <strong>words</strong> specified. Example:</p>
|
|
|
75 |
|
|
|
76 |
<code>
|
|
|
77 |
$string = "Here is a nice text string consisting of eleven words.";<br />
|
|
|
78 |
<br />
|
|
|
79 |
$string = word_limiter($string, 4);<br /><br />
|
|
|
80 |
|
|
|
81 |
// Returns: Here is a nice…
|
|
|
82 |
</code>
|
|
|
83 |
|
|
|
84 |
<p>The third parameter is an optional suffix added to the string. By default it adds an ellipsis.</p>
|
|
|
85 |
|
|
|
86 |
|
|
|
87 |
<h2>character_limiter()</h2>
|
|
|
88 |
|
|
|
89 |
<p>Truncates a string to the number of <strong>characters</strong> specified. It maintains the integrity
|
|
|
90 |
of words so the character count may be slightly more or less then what you specify. Example:</p>
|
|
|
91 |
|
|
|
92 |
<code>
|
|
|
93 |
$string = "Here is a nice text string consisting of eleven words.";<br />
|
|
|
94 |
<br />
|
|
|
95 |
$string = character_limiter($string, 20);<br /><br />
|
|
|
96 |
|
|
|
97 |
// Returns: Here is a nice text string…
|
|
|
98 |
</code>
|
|
|
99 |
|
|
|
100 |
<p>The third parameter is an optional suffix added to the string, if undeclared this helper uses an ellipsis.</p>
|
|
|
101 |
|
|
|
102 |
|
|
|
103 |
|
|
|
104 |
<h2>ascii_to_entities()</h2>
|
|
|
105 |
|
|
|
106 |
<p>Converts ASCII values to character entities, including high ASCII and MS Word characters that can cause problems when used in a web page,
|
|
|
107 |
so that they can be shown consistently regardless of browser settings or stored reliably in a database.
|
|
|
108 |
There is some dependence on your server's supported character sets, so it may not be 100% reliable in all cases, but for the most
|
|
|
109 |
part it should correctly identify characters outside the normal range (like accented characters). Example:</p>
|
|
|
110 |
|
|
|
111 |
<code>$string = ascii_to_entities($string);</code>
|
|
|
112 |
|
|
|
113 |
|
|
|
114 |
<h2>entities_to_ascii()</h2>
|
|
|
115 |
|
|
|
116 |
<p>This function does the opposite of the previous one; it turns character entities back into ASCII.</p>
|
|
|
117 |
|
|
|
118 |
|
|
|
119 |
<h2>word_censor()</h2>
|
|
|
120 |
|
|
|
121 |
<p>Enables you to censor words within a text string. The first parameter will contain the original string. The
|
|
|
122 |
second will contain an array of words which you disallow. The third (optional) parameter can contain a replacement value
|
|
|
123 |
for the words. If not specified they are replaced with pound signs: ####. Example:</p>
|
|
|
124 |
|
|
|
125 |
<code>
|
|
|
126 |
$disallowed = array('darn', 'shucks', 'golly', 'phooey');<br />
|
|
|
127 |
<br />
|
|
|
128 |
$string = word_censor($string, $disallowed, 'Beep!');</code>
|
|
|
129 |
|
|
|
130 |
|
|
|
131 |
<h2>highlight_code()</h2>
|
|
|
132 |
|
|
|
133 |
<p>Colorizes a string of code (PHP, HTML, etc.). Example:</p>
|
|
|
134 |
|
|
|
135 |
<code>$string = highlight_code($string);</code>
|
|
|
136 |
|
|
|
137 |
<p>The function uses PHP's highlight_string() function, so the colors used are the ones specified in your php.ini file.</p>
|
|
|
138 |
|
|
|
139 |
|
|
|
140 |
<h2>highlight_phrase()</h2>
|
|
|
141 |
|
|
|
142 |
<p>Will highlight a phrase within a text string. The first parameter will contain the original string, the second will
|
|
|
143 |
contain the phrase you wish to highlight. The third and fourth parameters will contain the opening/closing HTML tags
|
|
|
144 |
you would like the phrase wrapped in. Example:</p>
|
|
|
145 |
|
|
|
146 |
<code>
|
|
|
147 |
$string = "Here is a nice text string about nothing in particular.";<br />
|
|
|
148 |
<br />
|
|
|
149 |
$string = highlight_phrase($string, "nice text", '<span style="color:#990000">', '</span>');
|
|
|
150 |
</code>
|
|
|
151 |
|
|
|
152 |
<p>The above text returns:</p>
|
|
|
153 |
|
|
|
154 |
<p>Here is a <span style="color:#990000">nice text</span> string about nothing in particular.</p>
|
|
|
155 |
|
|
|
156 |
|
|
|
157 |
|
|
|
158 |
<h2>word_wrap()</h2>
|
|
|
159 |
|
|
|
160 |
<p>Wraps text at the specified <strong>character</strong> count while maintaining complete words. Example:</p>
|
|
|
161 |
|
|
|
162 |
<code>$string = "Here is a simple string of text that will help us demonstrate this function.";<br />
|
|
|
163 |
<br />
|
|
|
164 |
echo word_wrap($string, 25);<br />
|
|
|
165 |
<br />
|
|
|
166 |
// Would produce:<br />
|
|
|
167 |
<br />
|
|
|
168 |
Here is a simple string<br />
|
|
|
169 |
of text that will help<br />
|
|
|
170 |
us demonstrate this<br />
|
|
|
