Shortening displayed text (url)

[azhar]

Hello There,

Can anyone help me with this problem I am having?

Let's say I've got a long URL, we'll use http://www.myexample.com/this/that/here/there/this.php?that=this&that

As you can see, it's long, but would there be a way for me to format the displayed URL, like instead of my page displaying 'Click here to visit http://www.myexample.com/this/that/here/there/this.php?that=this&that' it would say 'Click here to visit ...there/this.php?that=this&that'.

As you can see the string has had it's charectors formatted to a limit, how would I be able to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe this is what you want ?

$URL= substr($URL, 200, 300);

Hope it helps

Tom
