PHP Command Line Window Width

In my php project I output several strings with long lengths. I want to cut these strings into pieces (All the same length) To format my output. In order to know how long these sections should be, I need to know the width of my ouput window. (CLI mode)

Is there any way I can detect the console width cross-platform?

Thanks

exec('mode con', $output);

Then parse what's returned.

Look at newt_get_screen_size. This gives you the rows and columns (window width) of your terminal.

If you're on Linux/Unix only, you can also use stty -a and parse the output or use tput cols.
