@shane_carrJul 24.2006 — Same code, but (you mean mysql table???) you should change the params to

0,10

10,20

20,30

30,40

And also, I tend to prefer <br /> rather than <br>. That's just a personal preference.

@GenixdeaeJul 24.2006 — [URL=http://us3.php.net/explode]explode()[/URL] You'll have to mess with this on your own, i'm hazy on explode and it's abilities [code=php]$text = "your text";
explode(" ", $text);[/code]

ps:shane, i did it <br> because it's midnight and i'm tired and lazy :p , but i usually do <br /> also

@shane_carrJul 24.2006 — Why didn't I think of that before?

[code=php]
$var1 = mysql_query("your query");
//more mysql stuff
$var2 = "final text";

$var3 = explode(" ", $var2);
$var4 = "";

$i = 0;
while($i<40){
$var4 .= $var3[$i]." ";
$i++
if($i==(10||20||30)){
$var4 .= "<br />";
}
}

echo $var4;[/code]

@shane_carrJul 24.2006 — So we're finished? Great ? Unless you figured it out yourself, the if was always evaluating true. Change it to:

[code=php]
if($i==10||$i==20||$i==30){
[/code]

and it should work even better. Cheers!

@Vectorman211Jul 24.2006 — may want to do:

[code=php]
preg_split("/ +/",$text);
[/code]

Instead which will match any number of spaces (just in case).

That's probably a good idea. That'll make the code

[code=php]
$var1 = mysql_query("your query");
//more mysql stuff
$var2 = "final text";

$var3 = preg_split("/ +/",$var2);
$var4 = "";

$i = 0;
while($i<40){
$var4 .= $var3[$i]." ";
$i++
if($i==10||$i==20||$i==30){
$var4 .= "<br />";
}
}

echo $var4;[/code]

Success!
