by default wordwrap does not split words you need to add true as a parameter to the end in order to split words - see the manual page for more 

echo "<div class='Dtitle'>".wordwrap($row['title'], 20, "<br />\n",true)."</div>";

Try style="word-break: break-all;" or maybe overflow:hidden

You're missing the cut argument to wordwrap.

Try:

echo "<div class='Dtitle'>".wordwrap($row['title'], 20, "<br />\n", true)."</div>";
                                                                    ^^^^

The PHP reference for wordwrap is here
