使用子串

http://php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php

$foo = substr("abcde",0, 3) . "...";

$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;

Substr()是最好的，你还需要先检查字符串的长度

$str = 'someLongString';
$max = 7;

if(strlen($str) > $max) {
   $str = substr($str, 0, $max) . '...';
}

Wordwrap不会修剪字符串，只是分割它…

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。

//The simple version for 10 Characters from the beginning of the string
$string = substr($string,0,10).'...';

更新:

基于检查长度的建议(也确保修剪和未修剪的字符串长度相似):

$string = (strlen($string) > 13) ? substr($string,0,10).'...' : $string;

所以你会得到一个最多13个字符的字符串;13个(或更少)普通字符或10个字符后跟“…”

更新2:

或作为函数:

function truncate($string, $length, $dots = "...") {
    return (strlen($string) > $length) ? substr($string, 0, $length - strlen($dots)) . $dots : $string;
}

更新3:

我写这个答案已经有一段时间了，实际上我不再使用这段代码了。我更喜欢这个函数，它可以防止使用wordwrap函数打断单词中间的字符串:

function truncate($string,$length=100,$append="…") {
  $string = trim($string);

  if(strlen($string) > $length) {
    $string = wordwrap($string, $length);
    $string = explode("\n", $string, 2);
    $string = $string[0] . $append;
  }

  return $string;
}

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