This is great. I always wanted this, so i copied the text into a static class and added self:: where needed. However, i’m not sure why you included the $chars var. Is it just to avoid cropping when string is too short?

if (strlen($str) > $chars) {
}

I think i’ll take ride of that.

Hi yea,
The black background of your site makes it impossible to read your content. Your site is not fit for purpose. Pity

Yes Jason

Its great that you shared it with the community. Its always great to share your code with others. It definitely saved my time. I ended up doing a way cooler thing with it which could have taken more time without using your code. I am mailing you the final output I delivered to the client. Its a XML (RSS) parser that had above features as well.

I was just searching Google for “getLeadingSentences,” as I do every once in a while, to see where my code has ended up and I came across this blog. I’m glad that you found that function, that I wrote ages ago, useful.

Thank you also for leaving that attribution intact. I’ve always believed in giving credit where credit is due, so I appreciate it when others do the same for my work. I’ve seen that function in other places with all of the comments removed and “stolen from somewhere” added to the top.
