Cut the content after 10 words [duplicate]

Answer 1

Try this function:

function shorten_string($string, $wordsreturned)
{
  $retval = $string;
  $string = preg_replace('/(?<=\S,)(?=\S)/', ' ', $string);
  $string = str_replace("\n", " ", $string);
  $array = explode(" ", $string);
  if (count($array)<=$wordsreturned)
  {
    $retval = $string;
  }
  else
  {
    array_splice($array, $wordsreturned);
    $retval = implode(" ", $array)." ...";
  }
  return $retval;
}

On your text, so like this:

$string = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris ornare luctus diam sit amet mollis.';
$firsttenwords = shorten_string($string, 10);

From here.

UPDATE: Now it's space-compliant, and also new-line compliant.
