如果需要控制字符串字符集，多字节扩展可以派上用场。

$charset = 'UTF-8';
$length = 10;
$string = 'Hai to yoo! I like yoo soo!';
if(mb_strlen($string, $charset) > $length) {
  $string = mb_substr($string, 0, $length - 3, $charset) . '...';
}

$width = 10;

$a = preg_replace ("~^(.{{$width}})(.+)~", '\\1…', $a);

或者使用wordwrap

$a = preg_replace ("~^(.{1,${width}}\b)(.+)~", '\\1…', $a);

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

if(strlen($text) > 10)
     $text = substr($text,0,10) . "...";

$yourString = "bla blaaa bla blllla bla bla";
$out = "";
if(strlen($yourString) > 22) {
    while(strlen($yourString) > 22) {
        $pos = strrpos($yourString, " ");
        if($pos !== false && $pos <= 22) {
            $out = substr($yourString,0,$pos);
            break;
        } else {
            $yourString = substr($yourString,0,$pos);
            continue;
        }
    }
} else {
    $out = $yourString;
}
echo "Output String: ".$out;

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;
}
