Question

I am using the codeigniter word_limiter() function in the text helper.

$string = "Here is a nice text string consisting of eleven words.";

$string = word_limiter($string, 4);

// Returns: Here is a nice…

The above functions limit the output to four words. How can I also store the words after the limit in a variable for use too???

Answer 1

Try this:

$original_string = "Here is a nice text string consisting of eleven words.";
$limited_string = word_limiter($original_string , 4, '');
$rest_of_string = trim(str_replace($limited_string, "", $original_string));
