Help needed on Inserting wordwrap function

[widget]

Hi,

 

I would like some help on how to incorporate wordwrap in the code below.

I've tried a few different ways but as a newb I just stuff it up.

 

	$getShops[shop_desc] = strip_tags(substr("$getShops[shop_desc]", 0, 350), " <b><br><a><img><font>");
$getShops[shop_desc] .= "...";

[widget]

Does it go in the output or would I put it on the input form?

 

Still need help with this please

You could use the PHP function wordwrap()

http://us.php.net/wordwrap

That link is where I started but Im not sure where it has to go in relation to my code above

Okay...then explain what you want when you say "wordwrap".

Where do you want the wordwrap to be located at? 

 

Does it go in the output or would I put it on the input form?

well users can edit their own profile and shop pages.

 

Sometimes people put a continuous string of characters such as hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhi and it breaks the page layout.

 

I would like to have long strings of text automatically broken up.

 

This is my current code which outputs the data.

 

$getShops[shop_desc] = strip_tags(substr("$getShops[shop_desc]", 0, 350), " <b><br><a><img><font>");
$getShops[shop_desc] .= "...";

 

When trying to implement word wrap (see example I found below)

 

<?php
$text = "A very long woooooooooooord.";
$newtext = wordwrap($text, 8, "\n", true);

echo "$newtext\n";
?>

 

How would i incorporate this into my code above?

 

Or does the wordwrap code need to go in the form the user uses to enter their descriptions or does it get melded into my original code above?

 

 

Its hard to explain
