wordwrap - Wraps a string to a given number of characters

SYNOPSIS
string wordwrap (string $str, [int $width = 75], [string $break = "0], [bool $cut = false]) DESCRIPTION
Wraps a string to a given number of characters using a string break character. PARAMETERS
o $str - The input string. o $width - The number of characters at which the string will be wrapped. o $break - The line is broken using the optional $break parameter. o $cut - If the $cut is set to TRUE, the string is always wrapped at or before the specified $width. So if you have a word that is larger than the given width, it is broken apart. (See second example). When FALSE the function does not split the word even if the $width is smaller than the word width. RETURN VALUES
Returns the given string wrapped at the specified length. EXAMPLES
Example #1 wordwrap(3) example <?php $text = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."; $newtext = wordwrap($text, 20, "<br /> "); echo $newtext; ?> The above example will output: The quick brown fox<br /> jumped over the lazy<br /> dog. Example #2 wordwrap(3) example <?php $text = "A very long woooooooooooord."; $newtext = wordwrap($text, 8, " ", true); echo "$newtext "; ?> The above example will output: A very long wooooooo ooooord. Example #3 wordwrap(3) example <?php $text = "A very long woooooooooooooooooord. and something"; $newtext = wordwrap($text, 8, " ", false); echo "$newtext "; ?> The above example will output: A very long woooooooooooooooooord. and something SEE ALSO
