这将返回单词的前200个字符:

preg_replace('/\s+?(\S+)?$/', '', substr($string, 0, 201));

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)));
}

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;
}
?>

我发现这很有效:

function abbreviate_string_to_whole_word($string, $max_length, $buffer) {
    if (strlen($string) > $max_length) {
        $string_cropped = substr($string, 0, $max_length - $buffer);
        $last_space = strrpos($string_cropped, " ");
        if ($last_space > 0) {
            $string_cropped = substr($string_cropped, 0, $last_space);
        }
        $abbreviated_string = $string_cropped . " ...";
    }
    else {
        $abbreviated_string = $string;
    }
    return $abbreviated_string;
}

缓冲区允许您调整返回字符串的长度。

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]. '...';
}
