Question

OK so I have an Item description being echoed out from a database,

What I want to do is say:

if the description is over 100 characters display the 100 then display a hyper-link to read more about it.

else display the description.

I have already used strlen to get the length of the string but how do I tell it to only display that 100 then the hyperlink? HELP 🙁 🙁

Answer 1

Use something like this:

if(strlen($string) > 100) {
    echo substr($string, 0, 100).' '.$hyperlink;
}
else {
    echo $string;
}
