Hi, Really simple, but can't see which funtion to use in the manual. I want to take a user-inputted string $text, and IF it's length is more than $limit, trim it to the limited length, and then tack on some kind of "... text cut (too long)" thing on the end. I'm only missing one bit (line4): 1 $limit = "5000"; 2 if(strlen($text) > $limit) 3 { 4 <cut $text down to $limit length> 5 $text .= "...sorry, text was too long"; 6 } Or is it hard than that?
