You may want to try a more elegant yet easier solution .
Define a separator for your content , for example wordpress uses 
You can do it like that, then add a button to your editor that would insert this separator into the text at the portion you want to cut from .
Then you can do it like :

Code:
if( strpos($content,$separator) !== FALSE )

   {

   explode($separator);

   return $separator[0];

   }

Or you can come up with better code, i don't really know how explode() compares to substr_replace or something similar , i guess is slower .

Not doing like so, and just counting the chars from your text on a fixed limit will get you plenty surprises if your content that needs to be cuted is html(and i am sure it is) .
