This could be easily achieved with php substr function

Link: http://php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php

Example code to do your task:

<?php

$maxlength = 30;

$actualstring = "I love php but I don't know how to use it exactly.";

$outputstring = (strlen($actualstring) > $maxlength) ? substr($actualstring, 0, $maxlength) . "..." : $actualstring;

echo $outputstring;

?>

Specify max words in maxlength var! and check if length exceeds through strlen in ternary operator

The above code will not work if actualstring is small then maxlength! it will only output default data
