Hello.
What do you think about this:
<?php
$MyOriginalString = "This is my original string.\nWhat do you think
about this script?";
$MaxWords = 6; // How many words are needed?
echo substr( $MyOriginalString, 0, -strlen(ereg_replace
("^([[:space:]]*[^[:space:][:cntrl:]]+){1,$MaxWords}",
"",$MyOriginalString)));
?>
Only 3 lines.
You have to change $MaxWords to 50 if that's what you need.
Best regards,
Gustavo Narea.
