Word limiter questions - El Forum - 04-04-2010

I am creating a blog application and I want to limit the number of words in the body of each blog post. How would I go about doing this.
Here is what I have so far:
Code:
function index()
{
$posts = new Post();
$posts->order_by('id', 'desc');
$data['posts'] = $posts->get();
$this->load->view('admin/blog_index', $data);
$this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE);

Here try this:
Creating a QuickStart Blog with CodeIgniter Electronic Version: US $6.99
Controller
Code:
function index()
{
$data['posts'] = $this->posts_model->get_live_posts(10);
$data['cats'] = $this->category_model->get_top_categories();
$data['title'] = "Welcome";
$data['main'] = 'public_home';
$this->load->vars($data);
$this->load->view('your view');
}view
Code:
// application/config/autoload.php
$autoload['helper'] = array('url','form','text','date','typography');
// view file.
if (count($posts))
{
foreach ($posts as $key => $data)
{
echo "<h2>".$data['title']."</h2>\n";
echo auto_typography(word_limiter($data['body'], 200));
echo anchor('blog/post/'.$data['id'], 'read more >>');
}
echo "<br /><br />";
}
// this is the magic above...
echo auto_typography(word_limiter($data['body'], 200));InsiteFX

Your very welcome.
I would purchase that blog for the $6.99 well worth it and it's
all coded in Active Record, very nice I learned a lot form it
last year.
