php trim a string -

php trim a string -

i'm trying build function trim string it's long per specifications.

here's have:

function trim_me($s,$max) { if (strlen($s) > $max) { $s = substr($s, 0, $max - 3) . '...'; } homecoming $s; }

the above trim string if it's longer $max , add together continuation...

i want expand function handle multiple words. does, if have string say: how today? 18 characters long. if run trim_me($s,10) show how yo..., not aesthetically pleasing. how can create adds ... after whole word. if run trim_me($s,10) want display how you... adding continuation after word. ideas?

i pretty much don't want add together continuation in middle of word. if string has 1 word, continuation can break word only.

so, here's want:

<?php // original php code chirp internet: www.chirp.com.au // please acknowledge utilize of code including header. function mytruncate($string, $limit, $break=".", $pad="...") { // $break nowadays between $limit , end of string? if(false !== ($breakpoint = strpos($string, $break, $limit))) { if($breakpoint < strlen($string) - 1) { $string = substr($string, 0, $breakpoint) . $pad; } } homecoming $string; } ?>
