a line number...

[phpSensei]

I am creating a simple function that gets a text that has the strlen (string length) longer than 300 chars, and cuts it down to 100 hundred then adds three "...", and I know what to do from there on..

 

What function cuts down a string at a single char number...?

well the str_split() function can do the following

 

<?php

$str = "Hello Friend";

$arr1 = str_split($str);
$arr2 = str_split($str, 3);

print_r($arr1); // every index is a letter   $arr1(0) is 'H' $arr1(1) is 'e' etc
print_r($arr2); //takes every 3 letters $arr1(0) is 'Hel' $arr1(1) is 'lo ' etc

?>
