[PHP] seems easy...

[Justin French]

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?

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

4$text = substr($text, 0, $limit);
5$text .=  ... (More);
