我不确定这是否是最快的解决方案，但它看起来是最短的:

$result = current(explode("\n", wordwrap($str, $width, "...\n")));

附注:见一些例子在这里https://stackoverflow.com/a/17852480/131337

我使用的函数是:

function cutAfter($string, $len = 30, $append = '...') {
        return (strlen($string) > $len) ? 
          substr($string, 0, $len - strlen($append)) . $append : 
          $string;
}

看到它的行动。

如果对截断字符串的长度没有硬性要求，可以使用这个来截断并防止截断最后一个单词:

$text = "Knowledge is a natural right of every human being of which no one
has the right to deprive him or her under any pretext, except in a case where a
person does something which deprives him or her of that right. It is mere
stupidity to leave its benefits to certain individuals and teams who monopolize
these while the masses provide the facilities and pay the expenses for the
establishment of public sports.";

// we don't want new lines in our preview
$text_only_spaces = preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ', $text);

// truncates the text
$text_truncated = mb_substr($text_only_spaces, 0, mb_strpos($text_only_spaces, " ", 50));

// prevents last word truncation
$preview = trim(mb_substr($text_truncated, 0, mb_strrpos($text_truncated, " ")));

在本例中，$preview将是“Knowledge is a natural right of every human”。

这个解决方案不会删减单词，它会在第一个空格后加三个点。 我编辑了@Raccoon29解决方案，我用mb_函数替换了所有函数，以便这将适用于所有语言，如阿拉伯语

function cut_string($str, $n_chars, $crop_str = '...') {
    $buff = strip_tags($str);
    if (mb_strlen($buff) > $n_chars) {
        $cut_index = mb_strpos($buff, ' ', $n_chars);
        $buff = mb_substr($buff, 0, ($cut_index === false ? $n_chars : $cut_index + 1), "UTF-8") . $crop_str;
    }
    return $buff;
}

这就是我的工作

    function cutat($num, $tt){
        if (mb_strlen($tt)>$num){
            $tt=mb_substr($tt,0,$num-2).'...';
        }
        return $tt;
    }

其中$num表示字符数，$tt表示字符串，用于操作。

最好像这样抽象你的代码(注意限制是可选的，默认为10):

print limit($string);


function limit($var, $limit=10)
{
    if ( strlen($var) > $limit )
    {
        return substr($string, 0, $limit) . '...';
    }
    else
    {
        return $var;
    }
}
