Hi, how can I echo something and if its very long lets say 200 words it will put dots at the end of the 200 words article and display a keep reading link to another page like

I'm not sure if you guys know what I mean

Thanks in advance for any help

 

hi, there are many ways to do this..

if you want just
echo substr('abcdef', 0, 3); // abc

or you can use pagination.

 

Hi, thanks but but how can I do this..

$article = $_POST["article"];
$article_sub = substr($article, 0 , 200);

if ($article_sub) {echo $article . '...Continue reading';} else {echo $article;} 

PHP:

So if $article_sub == true, if its has more than 200 words on it, I want to echo at the end of the article ... Continue reading. else if the article doesn't have 200 then just echo the $article?

 

You can use strlen() to check the length of the article like

if(strlen($article) > 200){
 echo substr($article, 0, 200).'... continue reading';
}
else{
 echo $article;
}

PHP:

 

Thanks that works
