Hello!

Heres the deal: i'm pretty new to php and I suck (really bad) when it comes to math.

I want to show what current file. okay
basename($PHP_SELF);

but if that filename exeeds ten character, then show only the ten first characters and then three dots "..." after the ten characters
It can possibly be done with strlen but I can't get it to work (because I suck).

if under ten characters
name.php

if over ten characters
crapanusba...

Hope you understood that?

Try This.

$file = "TestingThis.php";

if (strlen($file) > 13)
{
$file = substr("$file", 0, 10);
print $file."...";
}else{
print $file;
}
