php trim a string

Question

I\'m trying to build a function to trim a string is it\'s too long per my specifications.

Here\'s what I have:

function trim_me($s,$max) 
{
    if (s         


        

Answer 1

function trim_me($s,$max) {
    if( strlen($s) <= $max) return $s;
    return substr($s,0,strrpos($s," ",$max-3))."...";
}

strrpos is the function that does the magic.
