use wordwrap or strlen to break-up a word BEFORE going in DB?

[Dolemite50]

Hi is there a way to eliminate users entering a word over a certain amount of characters? I would like to break the word up BEFORE goingto the db so tha if somebody types "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
..it counts a certain amount of characters and breaks up the word to
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHA"

Is that possible?

Thanks

yes

and to be more specific: use wordwrap and store the wordwrapped string

Hello, and thank you for the response.

So if I have a variable called $input,..how would I code it to not allow a word over 20 characters?

Thanks.
