Those of us who us UTF, we have a problem, the last character of each article appears as “?”
Is there any possible way to change the following setting:
max Chars
to
max words

Thanks

The problem is cause when the last letter is more than 1bit and because of the way the mbstring manipulate the UTF-8. There is a way of fixing this by changing the substr to substr_utf8 at the common.php and of course to add the extra function at the mod_janews.php

So my question is in order to avoid all the above, is there any possible way to change the max Chars to max words?

Thanks

Add the following code at the end of the mod_janews.php (right before tha last ?>). Then edit your common.php and change the substr to substr_utf8 (line 45).

function substr_utf8( $string, $start, $length=0 ) {
$s = preg_replace("/\&\#([0-9]{3,10})\;/e", '_html_to_utf8("\1")', $string);
$pattern =
'/^(
[x09x0Ax0Dx20-x7E] # ASCII
| [xC2-xDF][x80-xBF] # non-overlong 2-byte
| xE0[xA0-xBF][x80-xBF] # excluding overlongs
| [xE1-xECxEExEF][x80-xBF]{2} # straight 3-byte
| xED[x80-x9F][x80-xBF] # excluding surrogates
| xF0[x90-xBF][x80-xBF]{2} # planes 1-3
| [xF1-xF3][x80-xBF]{3} # planes 4-15
| xF4[x80-x8F][x80-xBF]{2} # plane 16
)/x';
while ( $start-- ) { getChr( $pattern, $s ); }
if ( $length ) {
$ret = '';
while ( $length-- ) { $ret .= getChr( $pattern, $s ); }
return $ret;
}
else { return $s; }
}
function getChr( $pattern, &$s ) {
if ( preg_match( $pattern, $s, $match ) ) {
$ret = $match[0];
$p = "/^" . quotemeta( $match[0] ) . "/";
$s = preg_replace( $p, '', $s );
}
else {
$ret = substr( $s, 0, 1 );
$s = substr( $s, 1 );
}
return $ret;
}
function _html_to_utf8 ($data) {
if ($data > 127)
{
$i = 5;
while (($i--) > 0)
{
if ($data != ($a = $data % ($p = pow(64, $i))))
{
$ret = chr(base_convert(str_pad(str_repeat(1, $i + 1), 8, "0"), 2, 10) + (($data - $a) / $p));
for ($i; $i > 0; $i--)
$ret .= chr(128 + ((($data % pow(64, $i)) - ($data % ($p = pow(64, $i - 1)))) / $p));
break;
}
}
}
else
$ret = "&#$data;";
return $ret;
}
