How to limit text length in php and provide 'Read more' link - Kingsolomon - 10-31-2018
If you have set your php site to display post excerpts on the front or home page, you will want visitors to click on the title or a link to encourage them to continue reading your post or article, right? php makes this technique easy, and customizable.
PHP Code
Code:
<?php
$string = $profileinfo['description'];
if (strlen($string) > 150) {
$stringCut = substr($string, 0, 150);
$endPoint = strrpos($stringCut, ' ');
$string = $endPoint? substr($stringCut, 0, $endPoint):substr($stringCut, 0);
$string .= '... <a style="cursor: pointer;" href="" >Read More</a>';
}
echo $string;
