Limit string with/without relating words and from start/end

This function allows you to limit the amount of a string, like a sample from a post.
Create a file like function_lmt_txt.php and include it to use it.
Any comments to improve this are welcomed.

/*
Description: Function to limit the text with or without relating words and from the start or end of the string
Usage:
$string = txtlmt($string, "30", "...", "1");

Variables:
$txt = string to delimited
$txt_limiter = max amount of letters in the string that should be seen
$txt_sep = the separator used to end the string (like string...)
$tipo
	1 - from start to end without relating words (when it reaches the $txt_limiter it breaks the string)
	2 - from start to end relating words (when it reaches the $txt_limiter it finds the next space to break the string)
	3 - from end to start without relating words (when it reaches the $txt_limiter it breaks the string)
	4 - from edn to start relating words (when it reaches the $txt_limiter it finds the next space to break the string)
*/

function txtlmt ($txt,$txt_limiter,$txt_sep,$tipo=0) {

if($tipo=="" OR $tipo==NULL OR $tipo==0) { $tipo = "2"; }

if (strlen($txt) > $txt_limiter) {
		// From start to end
		if($tipo=="1") { // Do not related words
			$txt = substr(put_accents($txt), 0, $txt_limiter) . $txt_sep;
		} elseif($tipo=="2") { // Relate words
			$txt = substr(put_accents($txt), 0, $txt_limiter);
