I'm currently working on a chat script. However, I have come across a problem I can't seem to overcome. The chat works perfectly fine, however, when someone spams the chat, there is a problem. The first problem is that the chat stretches. What I would like done is to have the message line break after the maximum "chat" window. Therefore, instead of saying:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

it says,

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Here is my script:

<?php

include("lib.php");
include("chatfunctions.php");
define("PAGENAME", "Chat");
$player = check_user($secret_key, $db);
$refresh = "30";
$time=date("H:i");

header("Refresh: " . $refresh);

//Post message to database
if (isset($_POST['submit']) && ($_POST['message'])) {
$insert['username'] = $_POST['username'];
$insert['time'] = $_POST['time'];
$insert['message'] = $_POST['message'];
$query = $db->autoexecute('chat', $insert, 'INSERT');
}
//Display messages from database
$query = $db->execute("select `username`, `time`, `message` from `chat` order by `id` desc limit 20");
$chatlog = $query->fetchrow;

while ($chatlog = $query->fetchrow()) {
$timestr = "<font size=1>" . $chatlog['time'] . "</font>";
$usernamestr = "<b><font size=2> " . $chatlog['username'] . " : </font></b>";
$messagestr = $chatlog['message'] . "";
$messagestr1 = StripSlashes($messagestr);
$messagestr2 = LangFilter($messagestr1);
$messagestr3 = Convert($messagestr2);
$messagestr4 = bbCode($messagestr3);
echo "<div id='chatwindow'><table class='chatarea'<tr><td>";
echo "$timestr $usernamestr $messagestr4";
echo "</tr></td></table></div>";
}
?>
<center><p><form method="POST" action="chat.php">
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="<?=$player->username?>"/>
<input type="hidden" name="time" value="<?=$time?>"/>
<input type="text" name="message" value="" size="50" maxlength=""/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit!">
</form><p></center>

<?php
echo "<center><a href=\"chat.php\">Refresh Page</a><p />";
echo "<font size=1><i>This page refreshes every $refresh seconds.<br />";
echo "Please do not press refresh on your browser.<br />";
echo "The time is $time.</i></font></center>";
?>
