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]. '...';
}

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。

$WidgetText = substr($string, 0, strrpos(substr($string, 0, 200), ' '));

这样你就有了它——一种可靠的方法，可以将任何字符串截断为最近的整个单词，同时保持在最大字符串长度以下。

我尝试了上面的其他例子，它们没有产生预期的结果。

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);

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.

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。
