I'm sure I came across a function a couple of weeks back that takes in a string and it inserts a "\n" character at specified points within the string.

For example

"If this was the string I wanted to use but I wanted PHP to return a new line every 20 characters into the string I could use the function to that just that.

So it would look like:

"If this was the stri
ng I wanted to use b
"
Etc etc.

Maybe I was dreaming about such function? :)

lol ohhh right! I was going to say

Code: Select all

function foo($string, $length) {
    if (strlen($string) >= $length) {
        return "\n";
    }
}

Or chunk_split() if you need to split after X chars rather than at word boundaries.
