select first 20 char and insert

[fer0an]

hi

I've title of my content that sometimes is too long.

I want select first 20 char then insert it into my db.

any solution?

[jl5501]

substr($content,0,20)

[inversesoft123]

$string = substr($string,0,"20");

[fer0an]

$string,0,"20"

 

or

 

$string,"0","20"

 

or

 

$string,0,20

 

 

which one is correct?

[fer0an]

how I can say do it after five "-" char?

[jl5501]

$newstring = substr($oldstring,0,20);

[jl5501]

counting "-" in the string is an entirely different matter. you would need to find the position of the 5th - and then adjust the length accordingly

try explode and break your  long string then count string length

 

$pieces = explode("-", $string);

$pieces = explode("-", $string);

echo "$pieces[0]";

 

o/p

PaaS

 

for five

echo "$pieces[0]-$pieces[1]-$pieces[2]-$pieces[3]-$pieces[4]-$pieces[5]";
