Form formatting - wrapping the data

I'm using PHP to send variables to another page using a simple <input type="text" name="whatever" size=60"> input tag. However, when the info in that is transferred to the next page (to show what the user has entered), if it's too long, instead of wrapping the code on the second page, it keeps going and completely screws up the page. What can I do to make if wrap on the second page?

if (strlen($mystring) > 40) {
$firstline = substr ($mystring, 0, 40);
$nextline = substr ($mystring, 40, 80);
}
echo" $firstline<br>$nextline";

Use that basic concept but with a while loop. (The above won't work)

I apologize for this... but could you give me more information on a "while" loop?

-Colin Anderson

while ($length > $mylength) {
$do_stuff
}
In this case as long as $length is less than $mylength $do_stuff will continue to happen, be it once, twice, a million times. Take a look at http://www.php.net/manual/control-structures.while.php
So you would want a while loop. Somthing like:
$length = 40; // How much on a line
$end = 0; //start point
while (strlen($mystring) > $length) {
$line = substr ($mystring, $start, $end);
$start = $start + $length;
$end = $end + $length;
echo" $line";
}
But no gaurentees that that 1)works or 2) is the easiest way. But thats close to what I would do.
