PHP function to truncate a string... - GoFuckYourself.com

Smut · 03-13-2005, 11:39 AM

Can someone please let me know which function I should be looking for to truncate a variable string to a set number of characters?

Ex. $string="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";

function to truncate("$string", 5);
echo function to truncate(); //Would output "ABCDE"

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks

I find your lack of truncated strings disturbing.

substr ( string string, int start [, int length] )
