Limit string length

[vividona]

[code=php]$limit = 400;

if (strlen($summary) > $limit)
      $summary = substr($summary, 0, strrpos(substr($summary, 0, $limit), ' ')) . '...';
      echo $summary;

I am using bbcode in my script
but bbcode could not show if I limited my body string.
because the end tags of bbcode will cut off.[/code]

if its always going to be [/code] at the end then:

$limit = 400;
$summary=substr($summary,0,-6);
if (strlen($summary) > $limit)
      $summary = substr($summary, 0, strrpos(substr($summary, 0, $limit), ' ')) . '...

';
echo $summary;[/code]

the boards bbcode messed up the bbcode, but i assume you get the idea.
