#24823 [NEW]: wordwrap example clarification

From: curt at czirzow dot dyndns dot org Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: wordwrap example clarification Description: ------------ function wordwrap: ---- Example 1: $text = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."; $newtext = wordwrap( $text, 20 ); echo "$newtext\n"; Example 1 output: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. --- This is rather misleading to new users, they seem to be expecting their output to be shown with carriage returns in html (since php defaults with text/html mime-type.) Perhaps using a <pre> tag around output: echo "<pre>$newtext</pre>" Or using the break parameter in the function: $newtext = wordwrap( $text, 20, '<br>'); This applies to both example 1 and 2.
