Wordwrap in PHP?

can anyone help with a super noob question??? im pulling a field named “desc” from MySQL and using PHP to output it…


     <? echo $desc; ?>

but it outputs the “desc” in a single line a mile long!

i want the text to wrap within the

is that a property of the table like this:


STYLE="table-layout:fixed";

or is there a wordwrap in php???

maybe i can solve this using CSS???
