Mr. Heyes more or less prompted me to go dig for my other, slightly
heavier version, that doesn't chop words up:


function breakUpLongLines( $text, $maxLength=96 )
{
  $counter = 0;
  $newText = '';
  $array = array();
  $textLength = strlen( $text );

  for( $i = 0; $i <= $textLength; $i++ )
  {
    $array[] = substr( $text, $i, 1 );
  }

  $textLength = count( $array );

  for( $x = 0; $x < $textLength; $x++ )
  {
    if( preg_match( "/[[:space:]]/", $array[ $x ] ) )
    {
      $counter = 0;
    }
    else
    {
      $counter++;
    }

    $newText .= $array[ $x ];

    if( $counter >= $maxLength )
    {
      $newText .= ' ';
      $counter = 0;
    }
  }

  return $newText;
}
