WordPress Function Split Name onto Two Lines (or any two strings/titles)

/ Published in: PHP
Save to your folder(s)
I ran into a situation where I needed to break names into two lines. I tried css word-break: unsuccessfully, then came up with this function.

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML 
  1. // split name
  2.  
  3. if (!function_exists('the_title')) {
  4. 	function the_title($name) {
  5. 		if($name!='') { return get_the_title($name); }
  6. 		else return false;
  7. 	}
  8. }
  9.  
  10. if (!function_exists('split_name')) {
  11. 	function split_name($name) {
  12. 		if(strpos($name,' ')!==FALSE) {
  13. 			$name_arr = explode(' ',$name);
  14. 			if(count($name_arr)==2) { return $name_arr[0].'<br/>'.$name_arr[1]; }	
  15. 			elseif(count($name_arr)==3) { return $name_arr[0].' '.$name_arr[1].'<br/>'.$name_arr[2]; }
  16. 			else { return $name; }	
  17. 		} else { return $name; }
  18. 	}
  19. }
  20.  
  21. // Template usage -  echo split_name(get_the_title());
