通过使用wordwrap函数。它将文本分割成多行，这样最大宽度就是您指定的宽度，在单词边界处断开。分割之后，你只需取第一行:

substr($string, 0, strpos(wordwrap($string, $your_desired_width), "\n"));

这个线性程序不能处理的一件事是，当文本本身比所需的宽度短时。为了处理这种边情况，我们应该这样做:

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

上面的解决方案存在一个问题，即如果文本在实际切点之前包含换行符，则会过早地切割文本。这里有一个解决这个问题的版本:

function tokenTruncate($string, $your_desired_width) {
  $parts = preg_split('/([\s\n\r]+)/', $string, null, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
  $parts_count = count($parts);

  $length = 0;
  $last_part = 0;
  for (; $last_part < $parts_count; ++$last_part) {
    $length += strlen($parts[$last_part]);
    if ($length > $your_desired_width) { break; }
  }

  return implode(array_slice($parts, 0, $last_part));
}

另外，这里是用于测试实现的PHPUnit测试类:

class TokenTruncateTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {
  public function testBasic() {
    $this->assertEquals("1 3 5 7 9 ",
      tokenTruncate("1 3 5 7 9 11 14", 10));
  }

  public function testEmptyString() {
    $this->assertEquals("",
      tokenTruncate("", 10));
  }

  public function testShortString() {
    $this->assertEquals("1 3",
      tokenTruncate("1 3", 10));
  }

  public function testStringTooLong() {
    $this->assertEquals("",
      tokenTruncate("toooooooooooolooooong", 10));
  }

  public function testContainingNewline() {
    $this->assertEquals("1 3\n5 7 9 ",
      tokenTruncate("1 3\n5 7 9 11 14", 10));
  }
}

编辑:

像'à'这样的特殊UTF8字符不会被处理。在REGEX的末尾添加'u'来处理它:

部分美元= preg_split (' / ([\ s \ n \ r] +) / u ',美元字符串,null, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);

我是这样做的:

$string = "I appreciate your service & idea to provide the branded toys at a fair rent price. This is really a wonderful to watch the kid not just playing with variety of toys but learning faster compare to the other kids who are not using the BooksandBeyond service. We wish you all the best";

print_r(substr($string, 0, strpos(wordwrap($string, 250), "\n")));

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。

基于@Justin Poliey的正则表达式:

// Trim very long text to 120 characters. Add an ellipsis if the text is trimmed.
if(strlen($very_long_text) > 120) {
  $matches = array();
  preg_match("/^(.{1,120})[\s]/i", $very_long_text, $matches);
  $trimmed_text = $matches[0]. '...';
}

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;
}
?>

当我注意到wordwrap函数的$break参数时，产生了以下解决方案:

字符串$str [， int $width = 75[，字符串$break = "\n" [， bool $cut = false]])

下面是解决方案:

/**
 * Truncates the given string at the specified length.
 *
 * @param string $str The input string.
 * @param int $width The number of chars at which the string will be truncated.
 * @return string
 */
function truncate($str, $width) {
    return strtok(wordwrap($str, $width, "...\n"), "\n");
}

示例# 1。

print truncate("This is very long string with many chars.", 25);

上面的例子将输出:

This is very long string...

例# 2。

print truncate("This is short string.", 25);

上面的例子将输出:

This is short string.
