note 77783 added to function.substr

I prefer <?php function short_name($str, $limit) { return strlen($str) > $limit ? substr($str, 0, $limit - 3) . '...' : $str; } ?> Now, every returned string has a maximum length of $limit chars (instead of $limit + 3). ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 91.16.107.157 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77783 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77783/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77783/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77783/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77783/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77783/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77783/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77783 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77783 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
