How can I add a break within two values in php? - php

Question

I got this code
$title = new FullName($reservation->Title, $reservation->Description)
which shows the values Title and Description inside a box, but it does so directly following each other. When the box is too small it does a line break, but only at the exact point of the end of the box. so how can i force a line break between $reservation->Title and $reservation->Description ?
Here is the Full Name Class
class FullName
{
/**
* #var string
*/
private $fullName;
public function __construct($firstName, $lastName)
{
$formatter = Configuration::Instance()->GetKey(ConfigKeys::NAME_FORMAT);
if (empty($formatter))
{
$this->fullName = "$firstName $lastName";
}
else
{
$this->fullName = str_replace('{first}', $firstName, $formatter);
$this->fullName = str_replace('{last}', $lastName, $this->fullName);
}
}
public function __toString()
{
return $this->fullName;
}
}

Answer 1

Not a good way without proper explanation, but a Quick solution
Replace
$title = new FullName($reservation->Title, $reservation->Description)
with
$t = $reservation->Title . "<br />";
$d = $reservation->Description;
$title = new FullName($t, $d);

Answer 2

HTML line break can be inserted as:
$this->fullName = $firstName . '<br />' . $lastName
or with generic (non-HTML) new-line character:
$this->fullName = $firstName . "\n" . $lastName
It is important to use double quotes in last case (").

See the link for working example: http://codepad.viper-7.com/qS7nNv
You can add a third parameter to the class.
class FullName
{
/**
* #var string
*/
private $fullName;
public function __construct($firstName, $lastName, $delimiter = null)
{
$formatter = Configuration::Instance()->GetKey(ConfigKeys::NAME_FORMAT);
if (empty($formatter))
{
if($delimiter) {
$this->fullName = "$firstName $delimiter $lastName";
} else {
$this->fullName = "$firstName $lastName";
}
}
else
{
$this->fullName = str_replace('{first}', $firstName, $formatter);
$this->fullName = str_replace('{last}', $lastName, $this->fullName);
}
}
public function __toString()
{
return $this->fullName;
}
}
then add the delimiter:
$title = new FullName($reservation->Title, $reservation->Description, "<br />");
