Function: wordwrap
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2, PHP 5)
wordwrap --
Wraps a string to a given number of characters using a string
break character
Description
string
wordwrap
( string str [, int width [, string break [, bool cut]]] )
Returns a string with
str
wrapped
at the column number specified by the optional
width
parameter. The line is broken
using the (optional)
break
parameter.
wordwrap()
will automatically wrap at column
75 and break using '
\n
' (newline) if
width
or
break
are not given.
If the
cut
is set to 1, the string is
always wrapped at the specified width. So if you have a word
that is larger than the given width, it is broken apart.
(See second example).
Note:
The optional
cut
parameter was added in PHP
4.0.3
