</div>

Is there a way of getting the wordwrap() function to just wrap the idividual words (un separated by spaces) and not sentences that have spaces in them.

I.E.

Turning  
‘This is a very long woooooooooooooooooooooord’

Into  
‘This is a very long  
woooooooooooooo  
oooooooord’

Not  
‘This is a very  
long wooooooooo  
ooooooooooooord’

(the examples split every 15 chars)

Any help would be appreciated  
Thanks
