How can I make the chatlog page wrap? Right now, if a user types a long line of text, it keeps going horizontally. I want it to wrap to the next line. How do I do this?

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.wordwrap.php

Description

string wordwrap ( string $str [, int $width = 75 [, string $break = "\n" [, bool $cut = false ]]] )

Wraps a string to a given number of characters using a string break character.

I'm sorry. This link does help, but I just don't understand how to write it. I tried:

$getmsg3['message'] = wordwrap($getmsg3['message']);

But I don't understand how to set the other parameters. Can you please help me a little more?

abazoskib · September 6, 2009

there are three parameters to the word wrap function. 1. the string you are wrapping. 2. the number of characters to wrap after. 3. the character to use to seperate the lines. i.e. <br/> for html, or "\n" for UNIX, etc

I'm sorry. This link does help, but I just don't understand how to write it. I tried:

$getmsg3['message'] = wordwrap($getmsg3['message']);

But I don't understand how to set the other parameters. Can you please help me a little more?

$getmsg3['message'] = wordwrap($getmsg3['message'],400,'<br />',true);

If the break is too long, shorten the width (400) to a lower number, or if you want a longer line, increase the number. It measures the line length in pixels.

Thank you for showing me how to write it. Now I think I better understand it. Thank you so much!
