I want to display the first 100 characters of a user's bio and then put an option of Read More, that will open a new page with complete details. Following is my code:

<p>
<?php echo substr($search->bio, 0, 100); ?>..... <a href='<?=base_url();?>user/profile/<?php echo $search->user_id; ?>'>Read more</a>
</p>

Now the problem with the code is that it also counts the white space as character. Is there any way to ignore the spaces? Please Help.

Instead of counting characters, count words with regex. – Jay Blanchard Oct 03 '16 at 12:17
