Re: [PHP] wordwrap not working
snip it should print like this: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. but it still printing like this: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. 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.

Ah, this is a better solution than mine -- I didn't know wordwrap had the 3rd (and 4th) parameters till now.

Re: [PHP] wordwrap not working
This may be a nl2br() problem. If you are setting \n as your newline character, it probably needs to be br if your just echoing it. Depending on where it ultimately gets displayed, you'll want one or the other. For example, sending an email message you want \n. Steven J.
