note 26117 added to function.wordwrap

I have created this function which cuts line length at the desired character number, and replaces the last incomplete word with a "..." Can someone tell me if there was an easier/better/other way to do this? function line_cut($var, $length=0) { $var=substr($var, 0, $length); $var=strrev($var); $var=strchr($var, " "); $var=strrev($var); return $var."..."; } This happens to be my first function, as I am just a beginner. Please comment. Thanks!
