Wordwrap issues - wordpress blog

Any ideas why my wordwrap isn't working. If I just use plain text instead of calling the title it works fine. The title is displaying property but not wrapping.

<?php $strr = the_title(); echo wordwrap($strr, 10, "<br />\n"); ?>

I have tried all kinds of alternatives but I'm still learning with PHP.

Thanks

 

give it a class and add some css styling to wordwrap the text

 

I don't think you want to echo the wordwrap command.

 

Try this:
<?php $strr = the_title(,,FALSE); echo wordwrap($strr, 10, "<br />\n"); ?>

You need the FALSE to use it with PHP, because the default is TRUE:

Also, it needs to be inside the Wordpress loop. Use get_the_title(ID) when outside of the loop.
