Question

I have two string that i want to limit to lets say the first 25 characters for example. Is there a way to cut off text after the 25th character and add a … to the end of the string?

So ‘12345678901234567890abcdefg’
would turn into ‘12345678901234567890abcde…’ where ‘fg’ is cut off.

Answer 1

May I make a modification to pallan’s code?

$truncated = (strlen($string) > 20) ? substr($string, 0, 20) . '...' : $string;

This doesn’t add the ‘…’ if it is shorter.
