note 56036 added to function.preg-split

This is something ive needed for awhile, a way to limit the length of a string. <?php function limit_length($string, $length) { $chars = preg_split('//', $string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY); for($i = 0; $i < intval($length); $i++) { if(!empty($new_str)) { $new_str .= $chars[$i]; } else { $new_str = $chars[$i]; } } return $new_str; } $str = sha1('string'); echo limit_length($str, 32); ?> 32Char SHA1 will trick them anyday ^^ ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-split.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56036 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56036&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56036&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56036&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56036&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56036&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56036&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56036&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
