Limit string length with white spaces in codeigniter

I am using codeigniter.. I have 2000 character of string length but I want to show only 200 characters of string with white spaces & if there is a string with less than 200 characters it should take height & width of 200 characters i.e. white spaces should be added after the string name.

Please help.

Firstly just check the length of the string, if its less than it add the characters using str_repeat and if its less than just make the string to only first 200 char using substr.Use the code below

 $length = strlen($string);
    if($length<200){
    $text . = str_repeat(' ', 200-$length); ;
    str_repeat('&nbsp;', 5);
    }
    else{
    $text = substr($string, 0, 200);
    }
    echo $text; // will print the text max and min to 200

Hope this helps you

then u can use the following code

$str = 'some text';
$length = strlen($str);

if ($length < 200) {
    $str .= str_repeat('&nbsp', 200 - $length);
} else {
    $str = substr($str, 0, 200);
}
echo $str;

First check string length:

$length = strlen($string);

Then check if it's longer than 200 chars. If so, cut it, else add spaces:

if ($length < 200) {
    $string .= str_repeat(' ', 200 - $length);
} else {
    $string = substr($string, 0, 200);
}
