how to limit the words/characters from db to show in PHP?
For PHP newbie!
This is a working code for you to limit the characters/ words you want to show.
Just change the characters limit for your need.
Enjoy!
$max_chars = 180;
$str_text = $my_string_from_the_database;
$no = count(explode(" ",$str_text));
$str_text = trim(substr($str_text,0,$max_chars));
$count = -1;
for($j=0;$j < $no;$j++){
//get the last character
$new_text = substr($str_text,$count,1);
//check the last character is the space or not
if($new_text == " "){
$str_text = substr($str_text,0,$count);
echo $str_text;
break;
}
$count--;
}
echo '…';
?>
credit goes to the original developer but I forgot the resource.
