more flexible way is a function with two parameters   function lchar  str  val  return strlen  str  lt   val  str substr  str 0  val            usage   echo lchar  str 200

Well  you could make a custom function   function custom echo  x   length      if strlen  x  lt   length          echo  x        else          y substr  x 0  length               echo  y          You use it like this    lt  php custom echo  row  style-info    200     gt

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
