How can CSS word-wrap property be utilized to prevent long words from extending beyond the container width in PHP applications?

Long words can cause layout issues in PHP applications if they extend beyond the container width. To prevent this, the CSS property word-wrap can be utilized to break long words and prevent them from overflowing the container. By setting word-wrap: break-word; in the CSS for the container element, long words will be broken into multiple lines to fit within the container width.

echo '<div style="word-wrap: break-word;">';
echo 'Long words that extend beyond the container width will be automatically broken into multiple lines to prevent overflow.';
echo '</div>';
