note 92556 added to function.str-word-count

Hi this is the first time I have posted on the php manual, I hope some of you will like this little function I wrote. It returns a string with a certain character limit, but still retaining whole words. It breaks out of the foreach loop once it has found a string short enough to display, and the character list can be edited. <?php function word_limiter( $text, $limit = 30, $chars = '0123456789' ) { if( strlen( $text ) > $limit ) { $words = str_word_count( $text, 2, $chars ); $words = array_reverse( $words, TRUE ); foreach( $words as $length => $word ) { if( $length + strlen( $word ) >= $limit ) { array_shift( $words ); } else { break; } } $words = array_reverse( $words ); $text = implode( " ", $words ) . '&hellip;'; } return $text; } $str = "Hello this is a list of words that is too long"; echo '1: ' . word_limiter( $str ); $str = "Hello this is a list of words"; echo '2: ' . word_limiter( $str ); ?> 1: Hello this is a list of words&hellip; 2: Hello this is a list of words ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 88.211.48.46 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-word-count.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92556 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92556/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92556/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92556/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92556/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92556/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92556/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92556 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92556 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
