[php] Limiting the output of PHP's echo to 200 characters

I'm trying to limit my PHP echo to only 200 characters and then if there are any more replace them with "...".

How could I modify the following statement to allow this?

<?php echo $row['style-info'] ?>

function TitleTextLimit($text,$limit=200){
 if(strlen($text)<=$limit){
    echo $text;
 }else{
    $text = substr($text,0,$limit) . '...';
    echo $text;
 }

Try This:

echo ((strlen($row['style-info']) > 200) ? substr($row['style-info'],0,200).'...' : $row['style-info']);

string substr ( string $string , int $start [, int $length ] )

http://php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php

It gives out a string of max 200 characters OR 200 normal characters OR 200 characters followed by '...'

$ur_str= (strlen($ur_str) > 200) ? substr($ur_str,0,200).'...' :$ur_str;

echo strlen($row['style-info'])<=200 ? $row['style-info'] : substr($row['style-info'],0,200).'...';

Like this:

echo substr($row['style-info'], 0, 200);

Or wrapped in a function:

function echo_200($str){
    echo substr($row['style-info'], 0, 200);
}

echo_200($str);

echo strlen($row['style-info']) > 200) ? substr($row['style-info'], 0, 200)."..." : $row['style-info'];

more flexible way is a function with two parameters:

function lchar($str,$val){return strlen($str)<=$val?$str:substr($str,0,$val).'...';}

usage:

echo lchar($str,200);

This one worked for me and it's also very easy

<?php

$position=14; // Define how many character you want to display.

$message="You are now joining over 2000 current"; 
$post = substr($message, 0, $position); 

echo $post;
echo "..."; 

?>

Not sure why no one mentioned this before -

echo mb_strimwidth("Hello World", 0, 10, "...");
// output: "Hello W..."

More info check - http://php.net/manual/en/function.mb-strimwidth.php

<?php echo substr($row['style_info'], 0, 200) .((strlen($row['style_info']) > 200) ? '...' : ''); ?> 

In this code we define a method and then we can simply call it. we give it two parameters. first one is text and the second one should be count of characters that you wanna display.

function the_excerpt(string $text,int $length){
    if(strlen($text) > $length){$text = substr($text,0,$length);}
    return $text; 
}

this is most easy way for doing that

//substr(string,start,length)
substr("Hello Word", 0, 5);
substr($text, 0, 5);
substr($row['style-info'], 0, 5);
