Here are some old functions I've used to do similar things.  I can't guarantee how well they work, but they should give you some ideas at least.

Subject: [nycphp-talk] strpos with space


I'm trying to create a function that displays the first 250 words of a text, and then puts " ... [ full text ] " (as a link).  I did my research and I found the functions that I thought would work, however when I try to findt he 250th space (to determine where the 250th word would be) it doesn't seem to work, and the function only displays 250 characters.

Here is the function, maybe I am misunderstanding something:

function createTextPreview($text, $words = 250)
{
    if(str_word_count($text) < $words) {
        return $text;
    } else {
        return substr($text, 0, strpos($text, ' ', $words)) . ' ... [ <a href="link">full text</a> ]' . str_word_count($text);
    }        
}

Thanks in advance.
