limit text using str_limit function in Laravel 5.5

I have been trying to limit my blog content text with str_limit that works fine until I apply limit of characters on it. kindly see what is missing in the code of my blade file:

{!! str_limit($blog->content) !!} works fine with the default limit, showing limited text on the view. But when I apply any custom limit i.e. {!! str_limit($blog->content, 20) !!} it do not show any text on the view.

Solution

  • Have sorted out this thing using {!! substr(strip_tags($blog->content), 0, 150) !!} , works fine with what I was requiring.
