This will truncate a longer string to a smaller string of specified length while replacing the middle portion with a separator exactly in the middle. <?php $longString = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789z.jpg'; $separator = '/.../'; $separatorlength = strlen($separator) ; $maxlength = 25 - $separatorlength; $start = $maxlength / 2 ; $trunc = strlen($longString) - $maxlength; echo substr_replace($longString, $separator, $start, $trunc); //prints "abcdefghij/.../56789z.jpg" ?> ---- Server IP: 192.41.40.227 Probable Submitter: 68.198.215.85 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93993 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93993/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93993/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93993/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93993/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93993/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93993/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93993 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93993 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
