I think this is what you are looking for
wordwrap($text, 14, "<br />\n", true);

modified to add the 4th argument to the function for hard break.

Close.
Like this

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$query="SELECT *FROM rad ";
$result="mysql_query($query)";
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$text=$row['text'];
echo wordwrap($text, 14, "<br />\n", true);
}
$query="SELECT *FROM rad ";
$result="mysql_query($query)";
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$text=$row['text'];
echo wordwrap($text, 14, "<br />\n", true);
}

The only change I made was fixed misplaced semicolon in last line and took out the double quotes.
