Answer 1

Explode the string to array, then loop through the array until last line you want to print. Printh each line while looping the array.

Answer 2

Code for the mentioned text of Harri (at least this would be my approach):

$strings = explode(" ", $text);
for($i=0; $i<$your_lines; $i++) {
    echo $strings[$i] . " ";
}

Answer 3

当您需要行（不是单词）时使用

$lines = explode(PHP_EOL, $text);

Answer 4

Assuming the output is a web browser , then this is a display issue, since what you are referring to as "line" depends on the width/height of the container. (It's not very clear what you try to ask)

You can set a width and height on a div using css and use overflow hidden on that to achieve a result like the one you want

.mydiv {width:100px;height:100px;overflow:hidden;}
