[SOLVED] Cut a string

[jaymc]

This will be really simple but I cant fine the function

 

I thought word wrap could do it but obviously not.. or..

 

Anyway

 

I want the end of a string off if it excedes a limit I pass to it

 

here is an example

 

$string = 123456789

I want to kill the string after 6 chars so my output would be

 

123456

 

I want 789 discarded. The numbers are an example, This needs to work with text (words including spaces as chars)

[Barand]

substr ($str, 0, $limit);
