Looking at what you wanted to do, I realized this isn't going to work.
That line of code will put a BR between each of the first 19 words.

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);
