Snip At End Of A Sentence
I am currently snipping after 145 characters, but really mean "go about 140 characters in then snip at the next full stop" (full stop=period for US readers!). This is what I am using now:
function snip($entry) {
$chars = 145;
$entry = $entry." ";
$entry = substr($entry,0,$chars);
$entry = substr($entry,0,strrpos($entry,' '));
$entry = $entry."...";
return $entry;
}
echo snip$entry;
Can this be done?

Html Page - <snip>
im trying to make this option: <snip> a little more easy by instead of having the user click on a number which takes them to an anchor on an html page- having them rather enter in the number of their bday in a field and when they hit enter have the prediction displayed on the page. however i have no clue about php. i do not even really know what question to ask to search for a tutorial about this. really i just want to be able to have a user enter in a number in a field and upon hitting enter have that number pull up and display data from a text file.

Sentence Replaced
How am I able to randomly replace words with one of the list of words coming from a text file? Each line serves one possible random word to replace?

First Letter Of Sentence
I am in the process of making a function, what this function will do,is take a body of text, and strip it down, and bold all the words in the array of words. A word can be bold in in the center of a sentence, so what I would like to know, is how to find the the position of the first letter of the bold word, and go backwards until I find the first letter in the sentence. This letter will start the text of the displayed content, and will show 50 words, or the first two sentences.

Display A Part Of A Sentence
I have a table cell, it is limited to 100px. Here I need to display a title which I select from the DB. But if the title is too long, it is being displayed in 2 or more lines, as the cell width is limited. I'd like to display the title in a shortened way. For example: "This is a title example for this thread" should be displayed as "This is a title..." so it won't exceed one line. How can I do this?
