[SOLVED] echoing informaiton in rows

[contra10]

i have in my table an echoed value that can be really long...thing is how do i limit the amount of words in a row. At the moment it is just echoed throughtout the table and forces the table to become longer

 

<?php
echo "<table border='1' align='right' width='600'>";
echo "<tr><td width='80%' valign='top' align='center'><FONT FACE='ariel' size'12'><h1><b>$evname</b></fOnt></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td height='200' valign='top' align='left' width='300px'>$evdescription</td></tr>";
?>

for some reason it didn't work

 

<?php
$text = ($evdescription);
$newtext = wordwrap($text, 20, "<br />\n");

echo "<table border='1' align='right' width='600'>";
echo "<tr><td width='80%' valign='top' align='center'><FONT FACE='ariel' size'12'><h1><b>$evname</b></fOnt></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td height='200' valign='top' align='left' width='300px'>$newtext</td></tr>";
?>

Try

$newtext = wordwrap($text, 20, "<br />\n",true);
