[Solved] Limit number of letters in string php - wolfgang1983 - 10-06-2015
Hi All,
I would like to know if any one knows on codeigniter the best method to limit the number of letters showing in my string
Let's say my implode(' ', $name), then out puts some_test_image_sample.jpg but if I only want it to show max of 6 letters some_te.jpg
What would be best way
PHP Code:
$data['images'][] = array(
'thumb' => '',
'name' => implode(' ', $name),
'type' => 'directory',
'path' => utf8_substr($image, utf8_strlen(FCPATH . 'image/')),
'href' => site_url('admin/common/filemanager') . '/?directory=' . utf8_substr($image, utf8_strlen(FCPATH . 'image/' . 'catalog/')) . $url
);

PHP Code:$data['images'][] = array(
'thumb' => '',
'name' => implode(' ', $name),
'type' => 'directory',
'path' => utf8_substr($image, utf8_strlen(FCPATH . 'image/')),
'href' => site_url('admin/common/filemanager') . '/?directory=' . utf8_substr($image, utf8_strlen(FCPATH . 'image/' . 'catalog/')) . $url
);
You can use substr of PHP. For example:
PHP Code:
substr(implode(' ', $name), 0, 5)

I realize you've marked this solved already, but you might want to check out CI's text_helper, especially the character_limiter() and word_limiter() functions.

Thank you @mwhitney good to know. Here it is with character Limiter, I have attached image
PHP Code:
$data['images'][] = array(
'thumb' => $this->model_image->resize($image, 100, 100),
'name' => character_limiter(implode(' ', $name), 17),
'type' => 'image',
'path' => substr(strrchr($image, "\'"), 13),
'href' => base_url() . 'image/' . utf8_substr($image, utf8_strlen(FCPATH . 'image/'))
);
