<p>Let's say I have this string :</p>

<pre><code>$string = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet";
</code></pre>

<p>and I have character limit on my database : 15 characters. by using str_split($string,15), I got this result :</p>

<pre><code>Array
(
[0] =&gt; Lorem ipsum dol
[1] =&gt; or sit amet
)
</code></pre>

<p>this looks ugly to me... how to cut string to the closest word using PHP but the result is like this :</p>

<pre><code>Array
(
[0] =&gt; Lorem ipsum
[1] =&gt; dolor sit amet
)
</code></pre>
