Shorten string with a “…” body in PHP?
Let’s say the following is our string −
$sentence="This is my first PHP program";
We want the following output −
This is my first PHP ... gram
We shorten the string with “…”. For this, use the concept of substring() and set in a condition by checking the number of words −
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<?php
$sentence="This is my first PHP program";
if (strlen($sentence) >= 13) {
echo substr($sentence, 0, 20). " ... " . substr($sentence, -4);
} else {
echo $sentence;
}
?>
</body>
</html>Output
This is my first PHP ... gram
