Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I have a string with 10 words in it. I want to make a newline every 5th word. I have tried with

[code]$string = “Test1 Test2 Test3 Test4 Test5 Test6 Test7 Test8 Test9 Test10″;

while(count(explode(” “,$string, 5)) == 5)
{
echo “$string<br />”;
$string = strtok(” n”);
}[/code]

But it just prints out the ten words in a line.
Pls help!

@apeaceJan 28.2008 — This code will make a newline after every fifth word of any string (where a word is text with one space on the left and one space on the right):

[code=php]function newlineEveryFive($str){
$array = explode(" ", $str);
for($i=0;$i<count($array);$i++){
if($i!=0 && $i%5==0)
$out .= "n".$array[$i]." ";
else
$out .= $array[$i]." ";
}
return $out;
}[/code]

If you want it to insert <br /> instead of n, just make a replacement in the code.

Does this help?

@NogDogJan 28.2008 — Depending on what exactly you want to accomplish, you might want to look at the [url=http://www.php.net/wordwrap]wordwrap() function[/url]. This wraps based on character count instead of word count, but that might end up giving you more even breaks.

I don´t know how to thank you, but thanks! That really helped me. ?

Actually I already got a function that made a new line every 5 word but it didn´t work together with the FPDF thing I was woking on. So you really helped me.
