What I am trying to do is have a line of text break at a "space" after reading 19 words.
Having read the various methods of finding and replacing one character with another, I settled on
preg_replace as my best choice, but this function doesn't accept a space in the regular
expression slot. What can I do to get around this, or is there a better function than the one I
selected?
$statement=preg_replace(" ","<br>",$original,19);
