wordwrap not wrapping

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

I'm using the simple php dom class to parse an html page, i'm using the ->plaintext; to just retrieve the words rather than the html, then i'm trying to wordwrap:

 

<?php
   $prodID = $_GET['productID'];
   $q      = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `dig_products` WHERE `id`='$prodID'");
   $a      = mysql_fetch_array($q);
   $s      = $a['product_original_url']; 
   $html   = file_get_html($s)->plaintext;
   
   echo "<center><textarea rows='50' cols='50'>" . wordwrap($html, 10, "\n", true) . "</textarea></center>"; 
   //echo "<pre>$html</pre>";
?>

 

the problem is it's not wordwrapping the text no matter what number i set it to, i'm stumped

 

thanks for nay help guys

So you are clicking view source and there are no line breaks? If you aren't clicking view source then you won't see any line breaks since \n characters are ignored within HTML documents. You would need to use '<br/>\n' as your 3rd parameter.

or wrap nl2br around the wordwrap function:

 

nl2br(wordwrap($html, 10, "\n", true));
