PHP String Tips: As you can see hot post at right side this web, there are several title that have a lot of character. So, I decide to cut them and make them below 45 character. If they have more than 45 characters, after cut, add "..." later. How we create it?

First, create function like this:

function truncateString($str, $maxChars='45',$holder="..."){
	if(strlen($str) > $maxChars){
		return trim(substr($str,0,$maxChars)).$holder;
	}else{
		return $str;
	}
}

Then, we can use like this:

<a href="test.html" title="test"><?=truncateString($rp['title'])?></a>
