PHP trim string to remove words

Asked by chuckbeats in PHP Scripting Language

Tags: php, trim, string, remove, word

I need to trim a php string word by word until it is under a certain character limit.

ie I have a string "word1 word2 word3 word4 word5 word6"  
I have a string limit of 20 characters...which falls in the middle of a word - i need to trim the string to return:

"word1 word2 word3" -
I have thought of a few probably overcomplcated ways of doing this.
Any help is greatly appreciated.Start Free Trial
