Hi, everyone,

I'm 'teasers' of the first, say 200 to 250 characters of some articles.
This works great:

$content = strip_tags($article['content']);
$striptease = substr($content, 0, 275);

but cuts off words right in the midd ...

I'd like to find a way to take $content, look at the first 250
characters, then count backwards to the last space and chop it there.

Does anyone have an ideas/scripts for this?

Thanks in advance,
Jack
