Using the PHP function substr() is a solution, but makes the last word unreadable. This tiny function takes care about the max. string length characters, keeps the last word intact and will add a custom string to the end. This string can be some dots or maybe the link to the whole text.</p> Thu, 28 Apr 2011 15:57:50 UTC https://snipplr.com/view/52723/substring-function-based-on-words
