HTML treats bunches of whitespace as one space. Look at the source of the page; you'll see that it's doing what it should. If you want your HTML to appear wordwrapped, modify your PHP to use the 'nl2br()' function: <? $text = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."; $newtext = nl2br(wordwrap( $text, 20 )); echo "$newtext\n"; ?> This will convert all newlines to <br> tags, and your HTML output will look just like your text output.
