how can I adjust if the text reaches the ceiling or at least a certain number of characters go to the next line? I mean I have a div but my text(I get it from mysql) is a little longer than my page and a scrollbar will show but I want the text to go to the next line

I tested this code :

<div >
<?php
$strec = $row["text"];
if (strlen($row["text"]) >= 980) {
   $strec = str_replace(" ", "\n", $row["text"]);
}
?>
<p><?=$strec?></p>
</div>

But it didn't work

CodePudding user response：

look for something like white-space: nowrap in your css and if you find it, remove it (maybe it is in your div)

CodePudding user response：

You could do this with character units (ch) in CSS!

try this out

p {
  max-width: 10ch
}

<p>i am way bigger than 10 characters long dont you think?</p>
