Arrow Crop Content

Hello, this snippet crops the content and puts "..." to the end. My question is, how can I get the rest of the content ?

PHP Code:
<?

$str 
"Yeah, but on my website, before I realized that converting quotes, etc, to entities was a bad idea, I already had a lot of stuff put into a database...Also, symbols like show up as question marks... and I don't really know how to fix that. In my four years of HTML experience, and two years of PHP experience, I've never been able to get character encoding to do what I want it to.";

$chars "150";

function 
shortText($str$chars)
{
if (
strlen($str) > $chars)
    {
    
$str substr($str0$chars);
    
$str $str "...";
    return 
$str;
    }
else
    {
return 
$str;
    }
}

echo 
shortText($str$chars);

?>
