note 82063 added to function.substr

ben at enemy dot dk 10-Feb-2008 05:48 The function he wrote to cut text whithout cutting in middle of words, doesn't work if $lenght is smaller than $string size.. Just add a simple test and it works perfect for listing texts with a maximum chars: function cutText($string, $length) { if($length<strlen($string)){ while ($string{$length} != " ") { $length--; } return substr($string, 0, $length); }else return $string; } ---- Server IP: 81.92.200.26 Probable Submitter: 82.155.123.204 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82063 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82063/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82063/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82063/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82063/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82063/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82063/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82063 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82063 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
