function strlen question

[pouncer]

function get_Keyword() {
		return $this->row['keyword'];
	}

 

if the keyword is more then 10, i want it to show the first 10 letter with .. on the end of it, otherwise just to return the whole string?

 

e.g

 

keyword = "mr bean excellent DVD"

 

the function should return: mr bean ex..

[utexas_pjm]

<?php
// ...
return (strlen($str) < 10 ? $str : substr($str, 0, 10));
// ...
?>

<?php
        function get_keyWord($string){
                if(strlen($string) > 10){ $string = substr($string, 0, 10) . '...'; }
                return $string;
        }

        get_keyWord($this->row['keyword']);
?>

 

that should work.
