Cut the content after 10 words [duplicate]

Answer 1

Try:

$str = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris ornare luctus diam sit amet mollis.';
$arr = explode(" ", str_replace(",", ", ", $str));
for ($index = 0; $index < 10; $index++) {
    echo $arr[$index]. " ";
}

Output:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris ornare

Answer 2

We can retrieve the words in a string using str_word_count function .

For more description about the function please refer the below link

http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-word-count.php

For displaying only 10 words in the string please refer the below code snippet

    $str='Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris ornare luctus diam sit amet mollis.';
    $words=str_word_count($str,true);
    $a=array_slice($words,10);
    $s=join('',$a);
    echo $s;

Answer 3

This version will work no matter what kind of "space" you use between words and can be easily extended to handle other characters... it currently supports any white space character plus , . ; ? !

function getSnippet( $str, $wordCount = 10 ) {
  return implode( 
    '', 
    array_slice( 
      preg_split(
        '/([\s,\.;\?\!]+)/', 
        $str, 
        $wordCount*2+1, 
        PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE
      ),
      0,
      $wordCount*2-1
    )
  );
}

For those who should might prefer the original formatting :)

function getSnippet( $str, $wordCount = 10 ) {
  return implode( '', array_slice( preg_split('/([\s,\.;\?\!]+)/', $str, $wordCount*2+1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE), 0, $wordCount*2-1 ) );
}

Try like this

$str = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris ornare luctus diam sit amet mollis.';
$arr = explode(" ", str_replace(",",", ",$str), 10);
echo implode(" ", $arr);

Try this function:

function shorten_string($string, $wordsreturned)
{
  $retval = $string;
  $string = preg_replace('/(?<=\S,)(?=\S)/', ' ', $string);
  $string = str_replace("\n", " ", $string);
  $array = explode(" ", $string);
  if (count($array)<=$wordsreturned)
  {
    $retval = $string;
  }
  else
  {
    array_splice($array, $wordsreturned);
    $retval = implode(" ", $array)." ...";
  }
  return $retval;
}

On your text, so like this:

$string = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris ornare luctus diam sit amet mollis.';
$firsttenwords = shorten_string($string, 10);

From here.

UPDATE: Now it's space-compliant, and also new-line compliant.
