[phpmady]

Hi,

 

When i am getting the part of the text using the function substr, am getting this kind of problem , (text in the end not printing properly) how to solve this.

 

تسر مؤسسة مهارات التقنية ومؤسسة اشبكة الثنائية ان تطلع جميع عملاءها بإصدار نظام تاتش لإدارة الموقع الالكترونية من يوم السبت ا�

 

 

This is the code am using

$sub_string_content = substr($temp['News_Content'],0,300);

 

 

 

Thanks,

The issue arises because you have a string with multibyte characters. The normal substr() assumes that one byte equals one character. Instead,  try using mb_substr(), which is the multibyte equivalent. Make sure to specify the correct encoding. Also, it requires the mbstring extension to be loaded.
