Concat

[Anon]

I am trying to take the first 150 characters of a story and concat it. I want it to concat at the next space.

correct: hello how are ...
not: hello how ar ...

Please help!

maybe:

$story = "This is my story ...";

do {

extract current character from the string

$char = $story[$element];

look for a space character after 150 times through

if( ($element + 1) >= 150 && $char == ' ' ) {
break;
}

append character to new string

$short_story .= $char;

$element++;

} while( $char );
