Subject: [PHP] splitting text after 25 words
| Hi all,
|
| I'd like to split a text block at 25 words, as a teaser for the full
| article. Now I know how to split at a certain character, but i don't
| want a half word or anything, so I want (i guess) to hunt for the 25th
| occurence of " " (a space), and split $text into two new variables,
| $text_a and $text_b.
|
| Then I'll prolly want append something like "... click here to read
| more" on the end of $text_a.
|
| Seems easy enough, but I can't see anything in the manual about
| splitting on a numbered occurence of a string (but I could be looking
| in the wrong spot :)
|
| Running PHP4 BTW
|
|
|
| Thanks heaps in advance
| Justin French
