减少从数据库中检索的字符串长度

Question

I am fetching rows with title & its description from MySQL database. I want to alter the strings that I got from the database.

<div class="title"><?php $row['title']?></div>
<div class="details"><?php $row['desc']?></div>

So please tell me, how to apply javascript to this content ($row['..'])? Means, how I can access those strings in Javascript?

If the string length is more than 50 characters, I want to limit the string & add dots (...) to it.

Answer 1

You can do this using substr.

<?php echo (strlen($row['desc']) > 50) ? substr ($row['desc'] , 0, 50 ).'...' : $row['desc']; ?>
