How to make new line

Hi Iam trying to output some data into pdf file from MySql. Everything works fine, but.
I didnt find how to output correctly long text, beacause long text goes ower page ???

Try something like this:

function textBlock($pdf,$string,$x,$y,$lineSpacing,$maxWidth,$size,$style="Times-Roman",$rendering=0)
{

PDF_set_font($pdf, $style, $size, "winansi");
PDF_set_text_rendering($pdf, $rendering);

PDF_set_leading($pdf ,$lineSpacing);
PDF_set_text_pos($pdf , $x, $y);

$words = split(" ",$string);
$cantWords = count($words);

for($i=0;$i<$cantWords; $i++)
{
$text .= $words[$i];

if(strlen($text)<$maxWidth)
{
  $text .= " ";
}else
{
  PDF_continue_text($pdf, $text);
  $text=""; 
}   

}
PDF_continue_text($pdf,$text);

}

... have fun.

I worked with formatting a document in postscript, and what I understand is pdf and ps go hand in hand, you have to manually do everything. Calculate how long a string can be, calculate where the last space is before that lenght, break string, display first part, move down to next line and repeat process.
