adding word wrap to a spliti array??

[- |Flash Man| -]

Hey all,

I have 20 words each split using "spliti" and I need to add word wrap to this or a line width so it will wrap to the next line...as it does not wrap currently.

Any ideas how to do this?
Here is some code that I have:

$chunks = spliti (",", $string, 20);

Thanks in advance

huh?

you can enter
'<br />' or '\n' to force a linebreak

but to make a wordwrap textField in flash

myTextField.multiLine = true
myTextField.wordWrap= true

should work

i'm not using flash....

Pretty much what i am doing is capturing data from a website which is generated from a database...i am storing this in a cookie and creating a pdf dynamically using php where the cookie (my data) is entered into a table and split into 20 cells. 1 word per cell....

My problem is that some of the words are really long and are going past my cell boundaries without wrapping...I need to add a word wrap or something to keep the words within the cell...

I have a previous post in this forum that has the class and everything that creates the pdf and the table.

Cheers :)

The best thing for you to do would be to truncate each sentence by a letter count then. Take the average width of the letters to determine a decent amount of characters you want to allow on one line. Though this can get skewed because capital letters take up more space than lowercase.

i have actually done it with the wordwrap function and that works fine...but my only problem (from the previous thread i posted not soo long ago...my last thread i think) is that i am creating a pdf from php and the table that the class creates does not support word wrap...if i could get that working that would be great! but i don't know where to start as the class is not mine.

Maybe nokrev aswell can shed some light (he is usually good with this sort of stuff) :D

I still gotta try a few things but hopefully it will all work soon...i really wanna try and get that wordwrap happening in the class for the "cells of the table the class creates"

Cheers :D
