Truncating a String
The truncate function truncates a variable string to a designated number of characters.
Although the default is 80 characters, you can change it by supplying an input
parameter (demonstrated in the following example). You can optionally specify a
string that will be appended to the end of the newly truncated string, such as an
ellipsis (...). In addition, you can specify whether the truncation should occur
immediately at the designated character limit, or whether a word boundary should
be taken into account (TRUE to truncate at the exact limit, FALSE to truncate at the
closest following word boundary):
$summaries = array(
"Snow expected in the Northeast over the weekend.",
"Sunny and warm weather expected in Hawaii.
