wordwrap help

Hi,

 

I want to breaks string using <br/> after n numbers of characters.

I have use wordwrap function but it does not work with no space string.

 

 echo wordwrap("cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccchghggggggggggggggggf",10, "<br />\n");

wordwrap will work if you have spacing between your words. at present you have only one word.

 

<?php
$text = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.";
$newtext = wordwrap($text, 20, "<br />\n");

echo $newtext;
?>

Is there any way to break single long string?

One way to do it:

 

<?php

$string = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa";
echo breakString($string, "<br />\n", 15);

function breakString($string, $delimeter = "<br />\n", $breakAt=15) {
$breaks = ceil(strlen($string) / $breakAt); // break every 15 characters
$newString = "";
for ($i=0; $i<$breaks; $i++) {
	$newString .= substr($string, ($i * $breakAt), $breakAt) . $delimeter;
}

return $newString;
}
?>

 

EDIT:

Made it into a function.

Why not just use the last parameter of wordwrap? It'll cut long words if you pass true to its value

echo wordwrap("cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccchghggggggggggggggggf",10, "<br />\n", true);

lol because I did not think to look at that and I thought it would be fun to write a function, but yea. That is definitely the better solution!

haha good job. but if for some reason wordwrap is taken out of the core on your system, premiso's function should work hehe
