add 140-char auto trim

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What would you like dabr to do?
Add 140-char auto trim feature to dabr

here is my simple solution:
find in /common/twitter.php:

function twitter_update() {
  twitter_ensure_post_action();
  $status = twitter_url_shorten(stripslashes(trim($_POST['status'])));

add these lines after them:

  if (mb_strlen($status) > 140)
    $status = mb_substr($status, 0, 140, 'utf-8');

can also use tweetshrink if needed

$status = twitter_fetch("http://tweetshrink.com/shrink?format=string&text=" .
urlencode($status));

another idea is to split over multiple tweets using the wordwrap function I saw
mentioned elsewhere - also in post_status:

    if (strlen($status) > $limit){

    $status = explode("\r\n", wordwrap($status, $limit-10, "...\r\n"));
    $y = count($status);
        for ($x=0;$x<$y;$x++)
        $status[$x] .= sprintf(' (%d/%d)',$x+1,$y);
    } else {
    $status = array($status);

    }
    foreach ($status as $st){

        $request = 'http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json';

        $post_data = array('source' => 'dabr', 'status' => $st);

        $in_reply_to_id = (string) $_POST['in_reply_to_id'];

        if (is_numeric($in_reply_to_id)) {

            $post_data['in_reply_to_status_id'] = $in_reply_to_id;

        }

        if(!empty($_COOKIE['lat']) && !empty($_COOKIE['long'])){        

            $post_data['lat'] = $_COOKIE['lat'];

            $post_data['long'] = $_COOKIE['long'];

        }   

        $b = twitter_process($request, $post_data);
    }

Which browsers does this benefit? Just Opera Mini?

Everyone else should be notified about limits correctly

The idea was to allow flexibility when tweets run long. From what I've seen,
Ubertwitter uses Twitlonger and Brizzly does the multiple-tweet. and I've seen 
some
other web clients have a Tweetshrink option.

After I read issue 141, I know this will be not fixed. But, can someone help me 
how to merge API code from Kanvaso ( http://api.kanvaso.com/1/doc_update.php ) 
in Dabr?
I am not PHP developer, but I want to add that feature in my own application.
Thank You very much.

Kanvaso API documentation page has been update to make dabr work. Visit 
http://api.kanvaso.com/1/doc_update.php again. Thanks.

If a tweet is too long you should edit it down yourself. Auto cropping, 
splitting and 3rd party software as per issue 141 aren't preferred within dabr.
