wrapping a long string at 80 chars

[Greg Scharlemann]

Hey all

I'm working on creating a "send an email to a friend" page that
includes the link of a given search from a website. However, the url
of the website is really long and when displayed on the page it screws
up all of the formatting. Is there a way to force a wrap of the text?
Say each line is approx 80 characters.

I don't believe there is a simple HTML solution...wanted to see if
anyone on this forum had to do this previously and has some code to
share.

Thanks, Greg

The wordwrap function doesn't seem to work. It appears to wrap at the
next space in the string, but if I have a URL, there are no spaces and
thus no wrapping. Any other thoughts?

If you want to force a wrap on, say, an URL, just use the "cut"
parameter. See example 2 in the manual entry for wordwrap().

Yeah. Read it properly.
