string wordwrap ( string str [, int line_length[, string break_char [, bool cut]]] )

   <source lang="html4strict">

$text = "this is a test. this is a test. this is a test. this is a test. this is a test. this is a test. this is a test.";

   $text = wordwrap($text, 20, "
");
   print $text;
 
 </source>
   
  

string wordwrap ( string str [, int width [, string break [, bool cut]]] )

   <source lang="html4strict">

<?php $textblock = "this is a test. this is a test. this is a test. this is a test"; echo wordwrap ($textblock, 20, "
"); ?>

 </source>
   
  

Supply 1 as a fourth parameter, which enables "cut" modewords over the limit will be cut up if this is enabled.

   <source lang="html4strict">

<?

   $text = "this is a test.this is a test.this is a test.this is a test.this is a test.this is a test.";
   $text = wordwrap($text, 6, "\n", 1);
   print $text;

?>

 </source>
   
  

wordwrap() doesn"t break at your line limit if a word has more characters than the limit.

   <source lang="html4strict">

<?php $string = "this is a test. this is a test.this is a test.this is a test.this is a test."; $string .= "this is a test.this is a test.this is a test.this is a test.this is a test.!"; print wordwrap( $string, 24, "
\n", 1 ); ?>

 </source>
   
  

wordwrap() has two more optional arguments: a number representing the maximum number of characters per line and a string representing the end of the line string.

   <source lang="html4strict">

<?php print wordwrap( $string, 24, "
\n"); ?>

 </source>
   
  

wordwrap() requires one argument, the string to be transformed.

   <source lang="html4strict">

By default, wordwrap() wraps lines every 75 characters and uses \n as its line-break character.

<?php $string = "this is a test.this is a test.this is a test.this is a test.this is a test.this is a test."; $string .= "this is a test.this is a test.this is a test.this is a test.this is a test.this is a test."; print wordwrap($string); ?>

 echo wordwrap ($textblock, 20, "
