[SOLVED] carrying out if statement on sting length

[runnerjp]

im trying to add '...' if the sting length is longer then 15

 

<?php echo substr($getthreads3[title],0,15);if ($getthreads3[title]>substr(0,9)) echo '...';?>

 

this is what i thought lol $getthreads3[title]>substr(0,9))

 

any ideas?

<?php
  echo substr($getthreads3[title],0,15);
  if(strlen($getthreads3[title]) >= 15)
    echo '...';
?>

try this

 

<?php 

if (str_len($getthreads3[title])>9) {
echo substr($getthreads3[title],0,9).'…';
} else {
echo substr($getthreads3[title],0,15);
}

?>
