You already discovered the wordwrap() solution.  The html solution looks 
like this:

if ($row[0] != "") {
 echo "p$row[0]/p";

Cheers!

Nevermind,
I got it :-)

I used:


function wraptext($text,$warp) {
$text = explode(" ", $text);
$i = 0; $length = 0;
while ($i = count($text)) {
$length += strlen($text[$i]);
 if ($length = $warp) {
$output .= $text[$i]." ";
$i++;
} else {
$output .= "\n";
$length = 0;
}
}
return $output;
}


Then in the php file:

  echo (wraptext($row[0],80));



I'm learning :-)

  Subject: [PHP] How to wrap output of formatted text


  Hi all,

  how can I tell the output from a mysql query to wrap the cols at 80 (or whatever)?

  here's what I have:

  $row = mysql_fetch_array($sth);

if ($row[0] != "") {
echo $row[0];

  prints the data, but some of the results are long strings of text that don't wrap in 
the browser, how can I force them to wrap at the edge of the browser?



  Thanks,
  Clayton Dukes

There's a PHP function that does this. See: http://www.php.net/wordwrap
