Shorten

Provides additional truncation functions in PHP.

Installation

I recommend using Composer for installing and using Shorten:

composer require marcgoertz/shorten

Of course you can also just require it in your scripts directly.

Usage

<?php

use Marcgoertz\Shorten\Shorten;

$shorten = new Shorten();
print $shorten->truncateMarkup('<a href="https://example.com/">Go to example site</a>', 10);
?>

Output:

<a href="https://example.com/">Go to exam</a>…
