Irate Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 If you have a string containing more than 30 utf characters (you might want to be careful with character counting for special entities, such as the exponential e which's unicode representation consists of two sequences rather than one, which ultimately affects strlen), you can create a copy of the remaining string using substr, then append \n to the string (eventually \r\n for email bodies or whatever), and then concatenate the strings again. Just an idea. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/281964-help-code-to-cut-a-line-and-go-to-the-next/#findComment-1448642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
