wordwrap

Wraps a long string at word boundaries.

Syntax

wordwrap(string $string, int $width = 75, string $break = "\n", bool $cut_long_words = false): string

Parameter	Type	Description
$string	string	The source string.
$width	int	Optional. The maximum line length.
$break	string	Optional. What to insert at the break.
$cut_long_words	bool	Optional. `true` breaks words longer than the width.

stringThe wrapped string.

Lines no longer than 15 characters:

<?php
 
echo wordwrap('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog', 15);

Output:

The quick brown
fox jumps over
the lazy dog

The function counts bytes, so for non-ASCII text the width comes out at half of what you expect.
