note 43338 added to function.substr-replace

Regarding "...", even the short functions are too long and complicated, and there's no need to use substr_replace. substr() works better and is way faster prior to 4.3.5 as the below poster stated. function shorten( $str, $num = 100 ) { if( strlen( $str ) > $num ) $str = substr( $str, 0, $num ) . "..."; return $str; } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr-replace.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+43338 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+43338&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+43338&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
