I have a div that has a read more button. The read more button expands text, the expanded text is in a second div below it. Complete stuck. Please help. Code below:
<?PHP
function limit_words($string, $word_limit){
$words = explode(" ",$string);
return implode(" ",array_splice($words,0,$word_limit));
}
$text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Donec quam felis, ultricies nec, pellentesque eu, pretium quis, sem. Nulla consequat massa quis enim. Donec pede justo, fringilla vel, aliquet nec, vulputate eget, arcu. In enim justo, rhoncus ut, imperdiet a, venenatis vitae, justo. Nullam dictum felis eu pede mollis pretium. Integer tincidunt. Cras dapibus. Vivamus elementum semper nisi. Aenean vulputate eleifend tellus.";
?>
<div class="slidewrap">
<img src="images/slides/image.jpg" alt="Image Title" />
<h3>Title</h3>
<p><?PHP echo(limit_words($text,50)); ?></p>
<p><a href="#" class="readmore"><img src="images/icons/readmore.png" alt="" /></a></p>
<div class="readmorexpand">
<p><?PHP echo($leftovertext); ?></p>
</div>
</div>
try this:
<?php
function limit_words($string, $word_limit){
$words = explode(" ",$string);
return implode(" ",array_splice($words,0,$word_limit));
}
$text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Donec quam felis, ultricies nec, pellentesque eu, pretium quis, sem. Nulla consequat massa quis enim.

$start = limit_words($text,50);
$end = str_replace($start, '', $text);
?>
<div class="slidewrap">
<img src="images/slides/image.jpg" alt="Image Title" />
<h3>Title</h3>
<p><?php echo $start; ?></p>
<p><a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('readmorexpand').style.display = '';" class="readmore"><img src="images/icons/readmore.png" alt="" /></a></p>
<div class="readmorexpand" id="readmorexpand" style="display:none">
<p><?php echo $end; ?></p>
</div>
</div>
The code above works great for me. Just want to share my code also I added small code to check if I need to process the string or not. The code below will check the string count before it will process the string to array_splice to be sure that the string supplied needs to be shorten or not.
function limit_words($string, $word_limit){
$words = explode(" ",$string);
if(count($words)>$word_limit){
return implode(" ",array_splice($words,0,$word_limit));
}else{
return $string;
}
}
Where are you "getting" the remaining text from?
Try something like this:
<?PHP
function limit_words($string, $word_limit){
$words = explode(" ",$string);
$ar = array();
$ar[] = implode(" ",array_splice($words,0,$word_limit));
$ar[] = implode(" ",array_splice($words,$word_limit));
return $ar;
}
$text = "Lorem ipsum dolor ... snip ... eleifend tellus.";
/** $ar contains the text split at the 50th "word" */
$ar = limit_words($string, 50)
?>
<div class="slidewrap">
<img src="images/slides/image.jpg" alt="Image Title" />
<h3>Title</h3>
<p><?PHP echo $ar[0]; ?></p>
<p><a href="#" class="readmore"><img src="images/icons/readmore.png" alt="" /></a></p>
<div class="readmorexpand">
<p><?PHP echo $ar[1]; ?></p>
</div>
</div>
