How can PHP developers ensure that long words do not extend beyond a specified div when limiting character count?

When limiting character count within a specified div, PHP developers can ensure that long words do not extend beyond the div by using the PHP function `wordwrap()` to break long words into smaller chunks. This function allows developers to specify the maximum length of each line, preventing words from extending beyond the specified div. 

<?php
$text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris ultricies, libero vel posuere.";
$wrapped_text = wordwrap($text, 20, "<br>");
echo $wrapped_text;
?>
