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. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24823&edit=1
