Long output words resize my table, what to do?

[aprinc]

If outputed word from database is longer than table field, my table field become wider. How to avoid this, is there any way to break the word, so my table colon can keep desired size.
Thanks

Use wordwrad for the table column

and fix table and column's width

Nice function, but I use PHP3. Anything that can work in my case ?

I found this, and it works just fine. Thanks

$row[$a+4] = ereg_replace("([^ \/]{15})","\1<wbr>",$row[$a+4]);
