wordwrap()... Break only word with specific length

I'm trying to use wordwrap() to break the text, but I don't want it to break the text each time it reaches the specific length, I want it to break only the words that exceeds any specific length so for example:

<?php

$string = "Some text that will be splited each 15 characters...";
echo wordwrap($string,15,"<br>");
?>

Well, it works but I'd like to break only words that exceeded specific length for example:

<?php

$string = "This string contains word Entertainment, and this word has 13 characters";
//I want the wordwrap to split only the words that exceed the limit so..
wordwrap($string,10,"<br>");
//Wont work as I expect...
?>

What can i do? Thanks!

My expected outcome is :

This string contains word Entertainm

ent, and this word has 13 characters

Use the last parameter $cut to cut long words:

wordwrap($string, 10, "<br>", true); // true in the last param cuts long words

It defaults to false (dont break long words).
