How to split long text or sentence?

[sys7em]

Here's my issue..

I have a long sentence or phrase ...

"abcdefg h ijklmn op qrst u vwxyz"

for exapmle .... I want to echo

"abcdefg ..."

Any suggestions ..how to do that?

Thanks in advance ...

Depends on why you want to echo 'abcdefg' - what is special about it?... is it because it's the first word? Maybe because it starts with 'a'? Maybe you all 7-letter words?

Check out the full list of PHP's String functions and find the one that does what you want.

Here's the function I was looking for

function cuttext($texto,$tamanho) {
  $texto = htmlspecialchars($texto);
  if (strlen($texto) > $tamanho) {
    $texto = substr($texto, 0, $tamanho);
    $texto .= " ...";
  }
  return $texto;
}

Thanks anyway :-)
