Description
string
wordwrap ( string str [, int width [, string break [, bool cut]]] )
Returns a string with str wrapped
at the column number specified by the optional
width parameter. The line is broken
using the (optional) break parameter.
wordwrap() will automatically wrap at column
75 and break using '\n' (newline) if
width or break
are not given.
If the cut is set to 1, the string is
always wrapped at the specified width. So if you have a word
that is larger than the given width, it is broken apart.
(See second example).
Note:
The optional cut parameter was added in PHP
4.0.3

<?php
$text = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.";

echo $newtext;
?>

The quick brown fox<br />
jumped over the lazy<br />
dog. |

Example 2. wordwrap() example
<?php
$text = "A very long woooooooooooord.";
$newtext = wordwrap($text, 8, "\n", 1);
