[RESOLVED] Help With Word Wrap.

[tranxek23]

Does anyone have any ideas why this doesn't work? I am trying to make it so that what ever $about is, it goes onto the next line if it gets to a certain amount of characters or when it reaches the end of the cell instead of stretching it...

<?php
$str = $about;
echo wordwrap($str,15,"<br />\n");
?>

Looks like it should work. The only problem would be if there was a string of more than 15 characters with no spaces (such as a URL). If you want to force that "word" to break, then add the optional 4th parameter:

echo wordwrap($str,15,"<br />\n", TRUE);

thanks a lot, ive worked it out. i was testing it with a really long word, not remembering that i had set it to not break up words.
