Re: note 78044 rejected and deleted from function.wordwrap by notes editor didou

Why was my comment deleted? I posted a MB-String version of wordwrap, that so far has not been posted by anyone else.. I just looked at php.net/wordwrap and my comment seems to have been replaced by golanzakaiATpatternDOTcoDOTil who I'm guessing is a PHP.net editor since my comment was rejected at the same time as this email was sent. However, the function that he posted, is not a perfect replacement of wordwrap() as it lacks the last parameter "$cut". That parameter is an important part of the function. Replacing the code that I posted with inferior code does a disservice to the community, even if the editors of php think they write cleaner or faster code..
