note 121113 added to function.wordwrap

It should be noted that the behavior of the $break parameter is poorly explained. If you specify the $break parameter, then *that string defines what the function considers a "newline"*. Consider the following string: $str = "Rumplestiltskin Schwartzmenikoff 1534 Gingerbread Lane Black Forest, Germany"; You are trying to fit this address into a space that only allows for 22 characters, but you want it clear that you're continuing a previous line, so you want a space added. You might try this: $str = wordwrap($str, 22, "\n>"); If you did that, you would end up with the following output: "Rumplestiltskin >Schwartzmenikoff 1534 >Gingerbread Lane Black >Forest, Germany" This is because when you pass it a third parameter of "\n>", it assumes that entire string is a newline character. It's no longer using "\n". In your output, of course, \n is still a newline, so it appears to have extra lines. If you're looking to wordwrap a multi-line string with something besides a newline character, make sure all existing linebreaks are already delineated with the string you pass to wordwrap(). ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 70.88.203.198 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.wordwrap.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/121113 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121113/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121113/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121113/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121113/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121113/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121113/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121113 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/121113 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
