string formatting-help

[natalieG]

wer posted a question the other day about code to word wrap long string into several lines, separated
by a <BR>. WE did get an answer, but that we want is to only break at word boundaries, so we were probably not clear about the breakl criteria. We wrote an example, but we never see get the line breakl, even though the sting was longer than the word wrap boundary.
Our code is below. Hope yopu can help us.

Thnanks,

Jennifer

<?php
function abc($instr){
return trim(preg_replace('/\s+/',' ',$instr));
}//abc
$xyz= '345 Penninsuoa St olttown tommorrow any state usa ghg vbgv';
//eliminate multiple spaces with reg_replace spaces
$xyz2=abc($xyz);

function addressformat($add1,$line){
$len=0;
$len2=0;
$out='';
//remove multiple white spaces and concert to array..
$add1array=explode(' ',$add1);
foreach($add1array as $str){
$str_len=strlen($str);
$len=$len+$str_len;
#$len2=$len2 + $str_len;
#print "$len/$len2<BR>";
if ($len>=$line){$len=$str_len;$out="<BR>" . $out . ' ' . $str;}
else{$out=$out .' ' . $str;}
}//foreach
return $out;
}//addrressformat..
print "<P>";
print addressformat($xyz2,30);
?>

Here's an example of breaking up strings on word boundaries only.

And guess what, it's a reply to your previous topic. If you ain't going to read them, why should we bother to reply?
