That's exactly how you do it. I'll share my function I use with you:

php Code:

public static function shorten($szString, $iLength, $szPrepend = '...')
{
    $iChopLength = strlen($szString) - $iLength;

    if ($iChopLength > 0)
    {
        $szString = substr($szString, 0, $iLength - strlen($szPrepend)) . $szPrepend;
    }

    return $szString;
}
