Comments on snippet: 'PHP Truncate function' Snipplr comments feed https://snipplr.com/ Sun, 12 Apr 2026 22:47:53 +0000 evilwalrus said on 06/Oct/2009 https://snipplr.com/view/20726/php-truncate-function <p>No need here for the settype() calls... php is loosely typed. I also fail to see how this is easier to use than substr().. substr($string, 0, 6) is the same as example 1... Just a thought.</p> Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:37:43 UTC https://snipplr.com/view/20726/php-truncate-function
