下面是基于@Cd-MaN方法的函数。

function shorten($string, $width) {
  if(strlen($string) > $width) {
    $string = wordwrap($string, $width);
    $string = substr($string, 0, strpos($string, "\n"));
  }

  return $string;
}

我知道这很旧，但是…

function _truncate($str, $limit) {
    if(strlen($str) < $limit)
        return $str;
    $uid = uniqid();
    return array_shift(explode($uid, wordwrap($str, $limit, $uid)));
}

给你:

function neat_trim($str, $n, $delim='…') {
   $len = strlen($str);
   if ($len > $n) {
       preg_match('/(.{' . $n . '}.*?)\b/', $str, $matches);
       return rtrim($matches[1]) . $delim;
   }
   else {
       return $str;
   }
}

Keep in mind whenever you're splitting by "word" anywhere that some languages such as Chinese and Japanese do not use a space character to split words. Also, a malicious user could simply enter text without any spaces, or using some Unicode look-alike to the standard space character, in which case any solution you use may end up displaying the entire text anyway. A way around this may be to check the string length after splitting it on spaces as normal, then, if the string is still above an abnormal limit - maybe 225 characters in this case - going ahead and splitting it dumbly at that limit.

当涉及到非ascii字符时，还有一个类似的警告;包含它们的字符串可能会被PHP的标准strlen()解释为比实际更长，因为单个字符可能占用两个或更多字节，而不是一个字节。如果你只是使用strlen()/substr()函数来分割字符串，你可能会在字符中间分割字符串!如果有疑问，mb_strlen()/mb_substr()更简单一些。

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。
