You can use this one-liner with pathinfo() and implode() to get the name and extension of the file, truncate the filename to your desired length and then join them back together.

$shorterfilename = implode([substr(pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_FILENAME), 0, 23), pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION)], '.');

You need to separate handling of filename and file extension.

<?php
function formatNameFile($nama) {
    $array = explode('.', $nama);
    $extension = end($array);
    $newName = strlen($nama) > 23 ? mb_strimwidth($nama, 0, 23, "...") : $nama;
    return $newName.$extension;
}

 echo formatNameFile('resume_t8ffvwnjxibqwhu5l0mk1jwu9mmb4b_3.pdf');
