Short and simple is the way to go, and now I have a practical example of array_splice to do other stuff with. Noticed a small typo in your inline comment: "If string contains more words than $wordsreturned, the entire string is returned." should probably read "Unless string contains..." of "If string contains <= $wordsreturned..." Thanks. Short and simple is the way to go, and now I have a practical example of array_splice to do other stuff with.

should probably read “Unless string contains…”

of “If string contains <= $wordsreturned…”
