I wanted to shorten long words and add '...' so it would turn :
'thisisareallylongnamedfile.jpg'
and it shall appear like 'thisisareally...'
function short_name($str)
{
$limit = 35;
if(strlen($str > $limit))
{ #
# If the name is greater than 35 characters
# then only display 35 charatcers followed
# by ...
#
return substr($str, 0, $limit) . " ...";
}
else
{ #
# Too small; so no need to change
#
return $str;
}
}
