Limit string length

[vividona]

$limit = 400;

if (strlen($summary) > $limit)
      $summary = substr($summary, 0, strrpos(substr($summary, 0, $limit), ' ')) . '...';
      echo $summary;

 

I am using bbcode in my script

but bbcode could not show if I limited my body string.

because the end tags of bbcode will cut off.

<?php
$summary = "I am on [url=http://whatever.com/][/url]";
$find = "[url";
$find2 = "[code]";
if (strpos($summary, $find )
{
$ends = "/][/url]";
}
if (strpos($summary, $find2 )
{
$ends2 = "

";

}

$limit = 15;

 

if (strlen($summary) > $limit)

$collective = "$summary $ends $ends2";

      $summary = substr($summary, 0, strrpos(substr($collective, 0, $limit), ' ')) . '...';

      echo $summary;

?>
