[RESOLVED] How-to cut text at 100 characters – without cutting words in half.

[atmorell]

Hello.

How do I cut a Text with php, so character count doesn’t exceed 100 characters, without cutting the last word in half? If a word is from character 98-105 the whole word should be skipped.

Best regards.

Something like this:

$str = "bla bla bla ...";
$tmp = explode(" ",$str); $tmp_ = "";
foreach ($tmp as $value) {
	$tmp_.= "$value ";
	if (strlen($tmp_) > 100) {
		$last_tmp_.= "...";
		break;
	}
	$last_tmp_ = $tmp_;
}
echo $last_tmp_;

this code is write blindly, but should get the ideea ...
