I have been using the below function successfully. Hope it works for you.

// textwrap 1.1 Brian Moon <brian@xxxxxxxxxx>
// This code is part of the Phorum project <http://phorum.org>
// $String     The string to be wrapped.
// $breaksAt   How many characters each line should be.
// $breakStr   What character should be used to cause a break.
// $padStr     Allows for the wrapped lines to be padded at the begining.

function textwrap ($String, $breaksAt = 78, $breakStr = "\n", $padStr="")
{
   $newString="";
   $lines=explode($breakStr, $String);
   $cnt=count($lines);
   for($x=0;$x<$cnt;$x++){
       if(strlen($lines[$x])>$breaksAt){
           $str=$lines[$x];
           while(strlen($str)>$breaksAt){
               $pos=strrpos(chop(substr($str, 0, $breaksAt)), " ");
               if ($pos == false) {
                   break;
               }
               $newString.=$padStr.substr($str, 0, $pos).$breakStr;
               $str=trim(substr($str, $pos));
           }
           $newString.=$padStr.$str.$breakStr;
       }
       else{
           $newString.=$padStr.$lines[$x].$breakStr;
       }
   }
   return $newString;

} // end textwrap()
