$modelProfileURL = $site_url.'profile/model/2/'.$rs_model[$i]['iModelId'].'/'.replace_content($rs_model[$i]['vFirstName']).'_'.replace_content($rs_model[$i]['vLastName']);

I need to truncate the first and last name to a max. of 25 characters. But I can't find the correct way to edit the code listed above. For example instead of the name being (for example: Mark Walker Smith Lewis Junior), it would only be Mark Walker Smith Lewis J. This is needed for design purposes. Can anyone assist?

$modelProfileURL = $site_url.'profile/model/2/'.$rs_model[$i]['iModelId'].'/'.replace_content(substr($rs_model[$i]['vFirstName'],0,25)).'_'.replace_content(substr($rs_model[$i]['vLastName'],0,25));

  • Thank you for your assistance. But this did not limit the number of characters in the name. – Phone Chatter Sep 13 '17 at 03:19
  • You must be doing something wrong because ``substr()`` will definitely limit the string length when used as I described. Can you give an example of the contents of ``$modelProfileURL`` after this line is executed? – kmoser Sep 14 '17 at 04:24
