Cut string into pieces without breaking words. - php

Question

I have a string:
$str = 'Hello World, Welcome World, Bye World';
I want to cut above string into pieces. Each piece should be of 10 characters. If a word is going to be cut, then move that word to next line.
For Example:
$output = array();
$output[0] = 'Hello ';
$output[1] = 'World, ';
$output[2] = 'Welcome ';
$output[3] = 'World, Bye';
$output[4] = 'World';
Is there a shortest way without so many if else and loops.
Thanks

Answer 1

Use wordwrap. By default it wraps whole words and does not cut them into pieces.
echo wordwrap('Hello World, Welcome World, Bye World', 10);
If you want an array, explode afterwards:
print_r(explode("\n", wordwrap('Hello World, Welcome World, Bye World', 10)));

Answer 2

string test = 'Hello World, Welcome World, Bye World';
string[] splited = test.Split(' ');
foreach (string str in s.Split(splited))
{
Console.WriteLine(str);
}
Note: Its written in C#, I hope it will give you an Idea.

Although not exactly the answer, some similar problem is like this:
You have a long string, you want to break that string into chunks. You prefer not to break words, but words can be broken if word is very long.
$string = "Hello I am a sentence but I have verylongwordthat I can split";
You will split the words in this sentence if word is very long, like this:
$pieces = explode(" ",$string);
$textArray=array();
foreach ($pieces as $p) {
$textArray= array_merge($textArray, str_split($p, 10));
}
$stringNew=implode(" ",$textArray);
output:
"Hello I am a sentence but I have verylongwo rdthat I can split"
