<?php
$string='asdfasdfasdfasdfadfasdfasdfadfadfadfasdfadfadfasdfadfadfsdfsdfsdfafasdsdfsdfsdfsdfdf';

if (strlen($string)>130) {
     echo substr($string, 0, 130) . ' read more omg click here';
} else {
     echo $string;
}
?>

I would also add a query string variable on the 'read more' link like ?disp=all

 

Then on the same page you can alter the code from Jabop:

 

<?php
$string='asdfasdfasdfasdfadfasdfasdfadfadfadfasdfadfadfasdfadfadfsdfsdfsdfafasdsdfsdfsdfsdfdf';
$disp = $_GET['disp'];
if (strlen($string)>130 && !$disp=='full') {
     echo substr($string, 0, 130) . ' read more omg click here';
} else {
     echo $string;
}
?>
