Question

I have a PHP loop that adds data into a table cell. However, I want to apply a static size to the table cell, so if more data is returned than can fit inside the cell I want the excess characters to be cut off and end with a “…”

For example, one data entry has 270 characters, but only the first 100 are displayed in the table cell. Follow by a “…”

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks!

if (strlen($str) > 100) $str = substr($str, 0, 100) . "...";
