Breaking at a next sentence using substr(stripslashes(trim
Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2011 3:55 pm
I have a code see below:
It inserts the tag
at the break of the 701 character. I want it to insert this at the end of a sentence at above 701 character of a description text. The way i have it it breaks the word if it hits the 701 character in the middle of the word. Will like it to insert the tags above at the next sentence after the 701 character. Any assistance.. will be appreciated...
Code: Select all
<b><?= stripslashes($newstitle)?></b><br><br />
<b><?= stripslashes($detrsltnewsrow['sourceagency'])?></b> - <?=$ndt?>
<br>
<?= substr(stripslashes(trim($detrsltnewsrow[news_desc])),0,701)?>
</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" class="para" style="padding-left:10px;"><?= substr(stripslashes(trim($detrsltnewsrow[news_desc])),701)?></td></tr> It inserts the tag
</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="para" style="padding-left:10px;">
