hebrevc()

⚠️ Removed in PHP 8.0.0: The hebrevc() function was removed in PHP 8.0.0. The examples below will cause a fatal error on modern PHP versions. For modern web development, use CSS direction: rtl to handle right-to-left text layout. The legacy syntax is documented below for reference:

The hebrevc() function was used to convert logical Hebrew text to visual text for display on a web page. The syntax of the hebrevc() function is as follows:

The PHP syntax of the hebrevc()

string hebrevc ( string $hebrew_text [, int $max_chars_per_line = 0 ] )

The function takes one required parameter, $hebrew_text, which is the Hebrew text to convert. The function also has an optional parameter, $max_chars_per_line, which specifies the maximum number of characters per line. If this parameter is not specified or set to 0, the function will use the default value of 80. The function returns a string containing the converted visual text. If the input is invalid or not a string, it returns the original input unchanged.

Here is an example of how to use the hebrevc() function:

Example of PHP hebrevc()

<?php
$hebrew_text = "כן, אני מדבר עברית";
echo hebrevc($hebrew_text);
?>

In this example, we have a string variable $hebrew_text containing some Hebrew text. We use the hebrevc() function to convert the Hebrew text to visual text for display on a web page.

As you can see, the hebrevc() function has converted the Hebrew text to visual text and displayed it in the correct order and format.

The hebrevc() function can also be used to limit the number of characters per line in the output. Here is an example of how to use the hebrevc() function with a limit of 40 characters per line:

How to use PHP hebrevc()?

<?php
$hebrew_text = "כן, אני מדבר עברית";
echo hebrevc($hebrew_text, 40);
?>

In this example, we have a string variable $hebrew_text containing some Hebrew text, and we use the hebrevc() function with a limit of 40 characters per line.

As you can see, the hebrevc() function has limited the number of characters per line to 40.

Note that hebrevc() is a legacy function. For modern projects, rely on CSS direction: rtl and proper Unicode handling to ensure correct display and accessibility for Hebrew readers.
