HI everyone-

I am trying to add a line of text into a paragraph of text that is coming from a sql database.

for example If I had the following paragraph:

[u]Oh, when you walk by every night
Talking sweet and looking fine
I get kinda hectic inside
Mmm, baby I'm so into you
Darling, if you only knew
All the things that flow through my mind</u>


I want to add "[ found on mysite.com ]" to the middle like:

[u]Oh, when you walk by every night
Talking sweet and looking fine
I get kinda hectic inside
[ found on mysite.com ]
Mmm, baby I'm so into you
Darling, if you only knew
All the things that flow through my mind</u>

any help would be appreciated greatly

$part1 = intval((strlen($string) /2));
$part2 = -(strlen($string) - $part1);

$part1Text = substr($string,0,$part1);
$part2Text = substr($string,$part2);

...im sure you can take it from here:)

Not sure I follow that. My php skills aren't that great, but I know the basics... would you be real mad if I asked you to explain a little more:)

Thanks

I think I spoke too soon, I was able to make it work with your code...thanks so much. It appears to sometimes cut off words though in the middle, is there a way to tell it to go to the end of that line?

Thanks Again

I got your email from earlier...I will look at the code to make it do that later tonight:)

Ok totally rewritten and I added some comments

<?

$string ='test this string sentence';

//break string into an array or words
$words = explode(' ',$string);

//get the total number of words in your string
$num_words = count($words);

//declare variable
$first_string = '';

//divide the total # of words by two
$end_of_first_string = ($num_words / 2);

//loop up until the first half
for($i = 0; $i < $end_of_first_string; $i++){
    $first_string .= $words[$i] . ' ';
}

//declare variable
$second_string = '';

//fmod is used to find the reminder of a division statement
//this is need if the # of words happen to be odd
//otherwise it would print the middle most word twice
if(fmod($num_words,2) == 1){
    $start_of_second_string = ($end_of_first_string + 1);
} else {
    $start_of_second_string = $end_of_first_string;
}

//loop to end of words
for($i = $start_of_second_string ; $i < $num_words; $i++){
    $second_string .= $words[$i] . ' ';
}

//do what you need to do here with the variables ;)
echo($first_string .' some filler text '.$second_string);
