Question

How would I split a sentence into half, until none of the resulting parts are longer than, say 8 words?

Here is a sample text of 39 words:

“This is a long string that can be different since this is a black box
function and I do not know what strings I am going to receive, but I
need to be shorter for sure by a lot.”

Resulting output

This is a long string that can be
different since this is a black box
function and I do not know what strings
I am going to receive, but I
need to be shorter for sure by a
lot

Any tips please?

Answer 1

Try this

<?php
$text = "This is a long string that can be different since this is a black box function and I do not know what strings I am going to receive, but I need to be shorter for sure by a lot.";
$newtext = wordwrap($text, 40, "\n", true); // assign number as per you requirement

echo "$newtext\n";
?>
