[RESOLVED] Word wrap?

[gszauer]

Is there a way to make an echo word wrap after so many characters?
I know
echo substr($string_to_be_echoed, 0, $number_of_chars);
restricts it, but i neec to use wordwrap instead....

Guess this code works!!!

<?php

/**
Example usage:

// Your text
$text = "This is a sentence which contains some words.";

// Or from a database result
$text = $row['text'];

// Then put it into the function
$text = word_wrap($text);

// Output the result
echo $text;
/

function word_wrap($text) {

    // Define the characters to display per row
    $chars = "10";

    $text = wordwrap($text, $chars, "<br />", 1);

    return $text;

}

?>
