Someone else has already posted referencing the wordwrap function; if
you wish to do it yourself - ie: more customization than wordwrap can
give you - use the following psuedo-code that takes advantage of strtok
(note: I haven't validated this hence it's psuedo-code not 'true' code
):
$x = 'sentance of some length';
$y = strtok( $x, ' ' );
$curpos = 0;
while( !( $y == null ) )
{
echo $y;
if( strlen($y) + $curpos > 30 )
{
echo '<br>';
$curline = 0;
}
$y = strtok( $x );
}
