 Hi,

 Really simple, but can't see which funtion to use in the manual.

 I want to take a user-inputted string $text, and IF it's length is more
 than $limit, trim it to the limited length, and then tack on some kind
 of ... text cut (too long) thing on the end.

 I'm only missing one bit (line4):

 1  $limit = 5000;
 2  if(strlen($text)  $limit)
 3{
 4cut $text down to $limit length
 5$text .= ...sorry, text was too long;
 6}


 Or is it hard than that?

$text = substr($text, 0, $limit) .  ... your additional text here;
