    Hi,

    I'm trying to do the following:

    
<?=wordwrap($text, 20, "\n", true);?>
    PHP:
    But it has no effect on the text?

    If I replace the \n with <br /> it works but this messes up the code in the text.

    Could anyone plase advise on this issue?

    Thanks

    This works.

    <?php
$text = "bla bla bla bla bla bla blaadsfadsfadadsfdsafdsafsfdsaf bla bla bla bla bla";

$text = wordwrap($text, 20, "\n", true);

echo '<pre>';
echo $text;
echo '</pre>';
?>
    PHP:

    Thanks that worked,

    Realised after that line breaks just put a line brake into the html and it doesn't show up on screen.
