character wrap

[KashKurcura]

i am trying to find away to do a character wrap. i looked at word_wrap but that only works if there are spaces between words.. what if there are no spaces?

how do i wrap this after 8 chars for example?

$Var = "abigblackbugbiteabigblackbear";

Look into [man]str_split/man or [man]chunk_split/man for that.

<?php

$var = "abigblackbugbiteabigblackbear";

$chars = str_split($var, 8);

$chars2 = chunk_split($var, 8, "_");
$chars3 = explode("_", $vars);
echo 'str_split($var, 8)  ';
foreach($chars as $char)
{
    echo $char.'    ';
}
echo '<hr>chunk_split($var, 8, "_"  ';

foreach($chars3 as $char)
{
    echo $char.'    ';
}

// Insert a <br> after each 8 characters
// chunk_split(string, str_len [, string separator])
$chars4 = chunk_split($var, 8, "<br>");

?>

That will output:

[quote]str_split($var, 8) abigblac kbugbite abigblac kbear

chunk_split($var, 8, "_") abigblac_kbugbite_abigblac_kbear[/quote]

Hope that helps.

Or look again at [man]wordwrap[/man]. No, really.
