Answer 3

// string wordwrap(string $str [, int $width = 75 
//                 [, string $break = "\n" [, bool $cut = false ]]])

$s = "C-3PO is a humanoid roboooooooooooooooooooooot";

// If the cut is set to TRUE, the string is always wrapped
// if the cut is set to FALSE the function does not split the word 
$wraps = wordwrap($s, 13, "<br />\n", false);

echo $wraps;

 
/*
run: 

C-3PO is a
