PHP-Tips

Wordwrap

<?php

$text = "A very long woooooooooooord.";

$newtext = wordwrap($text, 8, "\n", 1);

echo "$newtext\n";

?>

This example would display:

A very

long

wooooooo

ooooord.

The $newstring part returns only the text from BEFORE the quotes. In this case a new line, so only the first line is returned.

$newtext = wordwrap($description, 100, "\n", 1);

$newstring = substr($newtext, 0, strpos($newtext, "\n"));

   		<td colspan="2" style="color:red"><b>Issue Reference:
                   <a href="hsl:hotissue?issueref=<?echo $issueref;?>"><?echo $issueref;?></a>


                     <?echo $newstring ?> </b>
                   <?echo "</b><br><PRE> ".$newtext;"</PRE>" ?></td>
