function trunc($phrase, $max_words) {
       $phrase_array = explode(' ',$phrase);
       if(count($phrase_array) > $max_words && $max_words > 0)
          $phrase = implode(' ',array_slice($phrase_array, 0, $max_words)).'...';
       return $phrase;
    }

使用strpos和substr:

<?php

$longString = "I have a code snippet written in PHP that pulls a block of text.";
$truncated = substr($longString,0,strpos($longString,' ',30));

echo $truncated;

这将为您提供一个在30个字符后的第一个空格处截断的字符串。

我以前用过这个

<?php
    $your_desired_width = 200;
    $string = $var->content;
    if (strlen($string) > $your_desired_width) {
        $string = wordwrap($string, $your_desired_width);
        $string = substr($string, 0, strpos($string, "\n")) . " More...";
    }
    echo $string;
?>

好吧，所以我得到了另一个版本的这个基于上面的答案，但考虑到更多的东西(utf-8， \n和 )，如果与wp一起使用，也是剥离wordpress shortcodes注释的行。

function neatest_trim($content, $chars) 
  if (strlen($content) > $chars) 
  {
    $content = str_replace(' ', ' ', $content);
    $content = str_replace("\n", '', $content);
    // use with wordpress    
    //$content = strip_tags(strip_shortcodes(trim($content)));
    $content = strip_tags(trim($content));
    $content = preg_replace('/\s+?(\S+)?$/', '', mb_substr($content, 0, $chars));

    $content = trim($content) . '...';
    return $content;
  }

我创建了一个更类似于substr的函数，并使用了@Dave的思想。

function substr_full_word($str, $start, $end){
    $pos_ini = ($start == 0) ? $start : stripos(substr($str, $start, $end), ' ') + $start;
    if(strlen($str) > $end){ $pos_end = strrpos(substr($str, 0, ($end + 1)), ' '); } // IF STRING SIZE IS LESSER THAN END
    if(empty($pos_end)){ $pos_end = $end; } // FALLBACK
    return substr($str, $pos_ini, $pos_end);
}

注:全长切割可能小于substr。

我有一个函数，它几乎可以做你想要的，如果你做一些编辑，它将完全适合:

<?php
function stripByWords($string,$length,$delimiter = '<br>') {
    $words_array = explode(" ",$string);
    $strlen = 0;
    $return = '';
    foreach($words_array as $word) {
        $strlen += mb_strlen($word,'utf8');
        $return .= $word." ";
        if($strlen >= $length) {
            $strlen = 0;
            $return .= $delimiter;
        }
    }
    return $return;
}
?>
