php在x char之后拆分字符串但仅限于句点

Question

I have a string of 5000 char and I want to split it in small chunks of 200 char, split_str() function does that but I would like the strings chopped at the last full stop in the string rather than cutting a word or sentence in half.

here is an example:

<?php
$str = '<h1>Samsung Z4. smartphone com Tizen. pode estar perto de ser lançado em novo país<h1>';
$arr = str_split($str, 20);

?>

OutPut is:

Samsung Z4. smartpho

But i need it to be smart and give me just 'Samsung Z4.'

Answer 1

$last_space = strpos($str, '. ',4000);
$next_part = substr($str, $last_space);
//var_dump($next_part);
$my_part = substr($str, 0 ,$last_space);
//var_dump($my_part);
$array[] =  $my_part;
$str = $next_part;
}
while($last_space);
array_push($array,$str);
