Limit String Length
Solution 1:
You can use something similar to the below:
if (strlen($str) > 10)
$str = substr($str, 0, 7) . '...';
Solution 2:
From php 4.0.6 , there is a function for the exact same thing
function mb_strimwidth can be used for your requirement
<?php
echo mb_strimwidth("Hello World", 0, 10, "...");
//Hello W...
?>
It does have more options though,here is the documentation for this mb_strimwidth
