[SOLVED] If a string is X characters long; shorten it.

[Cless]

Hello.

 

What I was wondering is if it was possible to shorten a certain string if it was X (I'll use 20 for this) characters long?

 

I know you would probably use a strlen function to find out if the string is 20 characters long.

 

<?PHP

$String= "HiHiHiHiHiHiHiHiHiHiHiHi"; //There is eleven "Hi"s in $String, equaling 22 characters

if(strlen($String) < 20)
{
//Do Coding That Shortens String
}

?>

 

Or something like that. I just need to figure out how to shorten "$String".

 

Thanks!

What do you mean shorten? Like make all the HIs into 1 hi?

Like, change the string so it equals 20 characters, if the string is more than 20 characters.

substr().

Oh. Thank you.
