note 23897 added to function.strlen

This is another example function that will determine the length of a string, then format it accordingly. In this case, if the string is over 50 characters, it will add 3 dots behind indicating more text is behind it. This snippet would be useful on a news site, where a "more" link could be used. <? $text = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"; $length = strlen($text); if($length >=50) { $text = substr("$text", 0, 50); echo "$text...<br><a href=>More</a>"; } else { echo "$text"; } ?> Enjoy, Tyler Brunkhorst -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strlen.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+23897 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+23897 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+23897
