If so, it should really be in a while loop, because there could be 3

I can hardly think of a better application for a regex:

Finally i found it (Google is god, you only have to ask the right question)
function trim_text($text, $count){
$text = str_replace( , , $text);
$string = explode( , $text);
for ( $wordCounter = 0; $wordCounter = $count;wordCounter++ ){
$trimed .= $string[$wordCounter];
if ( $wordCounter $count
Good job!
However, let me give a few suggestions to optimize the code
function trim_text($text, $count)
{
$text = str_replace( , , $text);
/*
* This is redundant; you are replacing all in $text with
* maybe you meant
* $text = trim($text); ?
*/
Good start guys. That's usually how I start down the path in solving a new
problem. Invariably down the road I find a more refined way of doing what I
did the hard way. The hard way is good though, you learn stuff along the way.
Let's see how tight we can make this though:
?php
$string =
