PHP Function long_lineJuly 11th 2003

This function should split a long line at a specified width. Preserving words, only splitting at spaces.

   if ($debug) { print "processing: $line<br />\n"; }

   $ret = substr($line,0,$chars);
   $count = $chars;

   while ($char != " ") {
      $char = substr($line,$count,1);

      if ($char == '') { return $ret; }

      if ($debug) { print "$count: '$char'<br />\n"; }
      $ret .= $char;
      $count++;
   }

   $ret .= "<br />\n";

How would I break apart long characters with a line break? for instance let's say I wanted to preserve a cell width and let's say my displayed input line in that cell is sure to broaden that width if anyone puts in a continous line. something like: wuwuwywtejkhuhdwuguweugyie2lhuofndeuouohdfuoeh8hhfeufh8hfgh2f8fheu9u. There;s no breaks in that line to find as you can see. So how would I force a line break after so many predefined characters?
