PHP Function Limit Words in a String

Use php function substr() is good solution to cut (limits) the number of characters so result may or may not have ending the word cut-off (not good for your none-latiinh language).

we have some functions to limits the words in a string will better than use substr().

function string_limit_words($string, $word_limit)
{
 // $string = strip_tags($string); can use this or not to clean HTML tags
 $words = explode(' ', $string, ($word_limit + 1));
 
 if(count($words) > $word_limit) {
 array_pop($words);
 }
 
 return implode(' ', $words);
}

the same another function is:

function string_limit_words($string, $word_limit)
 {
 // $string = strip_tags($string); can use this or not to clean HTML tags
 $words = explode(' ', $string, ($word_limit + 1));
 
 if(count($words) > $word_limit) {
 array_splice($words);
 }
 
 return implode(' ', $words);
 }

how to use:

# Example Usage
$content = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.";
echo  string_limit_words($content,20);

Goodluck
