Words that are too long

[Lyise]

I'm sure you all remember people on forums and guestbooks and such putting things like "hahaha" about a million times in one line, I was wondering, is there a way to search through a string for the lenghth of the words, and if they're too long, putting a <br> in the middle?

Thakns in advance!

this should help

<?
function limit_text( $text, $limit )
{
// figure out the total length of the string
if( strlen($text)>$limit )
{
# cut the text
$text = substr( $text,0,$limit );
# lose any incomplete word at the end
$text = substr( $text,0,-(strlen(strrchr($text,' '))) );
}
// return the processed string
return $text;
} 

//Shrink string longer than 30 chrs
$shrink = limit_text($string_here, 30)
?>

Possibly unhelpful, but you might look at wordwrap()
