"<br>" after so many words

[ohdang888]

i've got this script that calls comments onto the page.

 

These comments vary in length,

And i want a comment that would like this...

 

jasdfjkdjsaklfjkdsfjjksdjfklsdjfkladjsfklajsdkfljfaklsdjfklasdfjakl;sfjaklsjfaklsdf

 

to like like this:

asdfasdfasfasdf

asdfasdfadsfag

gghsrgregasdg

adsfadsfadsfad

 

But before i display it, i make the html invalid....

 

Any Help?

Or is there any other way to do it, I don't want to do it in a textarea! I want it displayed...

 

 

Thanks...

Try making it <br />

like i said...

 

i did....

 

 

And when users have a long comment, it stretches the page.... I want to stop that.

[maxudaskin]

<div style="overflow:scroll;height:400px"><?php echo $text; ?></div>

That way the text will scroll in the DIV tag, but not make the page long...

or this...

 

$string = 'sdfsdfsdfsdffsfsdfhsfghsdafkhasd;flkhasdfhsadfhsadfhsdafhas;;fsirtseafsdf';

$len = strlen($string);
$strlen = 5;
for($x = $strlen; $x<=$len; $x+$strlen){
if($x == 5){
	echo substr($len,0,$x).'<br/>';
}else{
	echo substr($len,$x-5,$x).'<br/>';
}
}

 

not tested i dont have php here  but that should give you an idea
