PHP : Function Reference : Multibyte String Functions : mb_strimwidth

mb_strimwidth

Get truncated string with specified width (PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5)
string mb_strimwidth ( string str, int start, int width [, string trimmarker [, string encoding]] )

mb_strimwidth() truncates string str to specified width. It returns truncated string.

If trimmarker is set, trimmarker is appended to return value.

start is start position offset. Number of characters from the beginning of string. (First character is 0)

trimmarker is string that is added to the end of string when string is truncated.

encoding is character encoding. If it is omitted, internal encoding is used.

Example 1405. mb_strimwidth() example

<?php
$str
= mb_strimwidth($str, 0, 40, "..>");
?>


See also mb_strwidth() and mb_internal_encoding().

While having the option to append a string to the end is nice, you can run into the problem of having a space between the append if the width is truncated after a space. I find something like this to be more attractive in the output, although messy in the code.
rtrim(mb_strimwidth($string, 0, 24))."..."
