[Tip] Limiting a strings length
Below is a handy function for shortening a string, where space is needed...
PHP Code:
function limitString($szInput, $iLength=25, $szAffix='...')
{
if(strlen($szInput) <= $iLength)
return $szInput;
$iLength = $iLength - strlen($szAffix);
return trim(substr($szInput, 0, $iLength)) . $szAffix);
}
Example:
PHP Code:
$string = "This is a long string that should be shortened using our great function";
print limitString($string, 10, '...');
//Outputs "this is..."
