When you want to split long words on title's grid or list

split_long_word_title.php

function smart_wordwrap($string, $width = 75, $break = "\n") {
    // split on problem words over the line length
    $pattern = sprintf('/([^ ]{%d,})/', $width);
    $output = '';
    $words = preg_split($pattern, $string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY | PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);

    foreach ($words as $word) {
        if (false !== strpos($word, ' ')) {
            // normal behaviour, rebuild the string
            $output .= $word;
        } else {
            // work out how many characters would be on the current line
            $wrapped = explode($break, wordwrap($output, $width, $break));
            $count = $width - (strlen(end($wrapped)) % $width);

            // fill the current line and add a break
            $output .= substr($word, 0, $count) . $break;

            // wrap any remaining characters from the problem word
            $output .= wordwrap(substr($word, $count), $width, $break, true);
        }
    }

    // wrap the final output
    return wordwrap($output, $width, $break);
}
