In my opinion this is a better solution, both because you avoid the loop but it also takes into consideration that the content might be shorter than the limit:

$contentTemp = explode(' ', $content); if (count($contentTemp) > $limit) { $content = implode(' ', array_slice($contentTemp, 0, $limit)) . '...'; } return $content;

$cut=explode("\n",wordwrap($content,250)); return $cut[0].(count($cut)>1 ? '...' : '');
