The new wordwrap function should have a cutting option:
When the the line is longer than the wrap length (such as a URL), there should be an option for either to cut it at that length, or leave it uncut (which is what PHP 4.0.2 currently does).

Also, PHP 4.0.2 treats tabs as a single character, when it normally occupies the space of 8 characters. It should be able to handle tabs.

I think your first is very usefull. Tonight I am going to work on that.

Your second request is somewhat nastier. You say:
"Also, PHP 4.0.2 treats tabs as a single character, when it normally occupies the space of
8 characters. It should be able to handle tabs."

But on most systems the tab size is NOT 8 chracters, but 8 or so. Therefore I think such 
functionality is not wanted.

The first request is added in CVS.

For the second request we need discussing. If you still want that functionality, please create a new feature request.
