[SOLVED] substr take out word isntead of character...

[jesushax]

hi below is my code

 

what i want to do is not write the last work if the total characters are going to be greater that 40

 

<?php $title = $port["ClientCompany"].' - '.$port["ProjectTitle"]; 
echo substr($title,0,40);
?>

maybe something like...

 

$titleLength=strlen($title);
if ($titleLength > 40) {
substr($title,0,40); // Or do whatever you want to the string if it is longer

// Maybe even something like this to replace a word if it is longer...
$search = array("'");
$replace = array("");
$fields = str_replace($search,$replace,$fields);
}

How about this?

<?php
  $title = substr($title,0,41);
  $title = substr($title,0,strrpos($title,' '));
  print $title;
?>

Yes, LOL... rhodesa's code is much cleaner... I'm notorious for not combining built in functions...
