use of substring in php [message #174592]

Hi All,

I want to cut down the name of the user to 10 characters so it will
fit to the picture of the user.
At this moment I use $firstnameCut = substr($firstname, 0, 10);
However sometimes the name is like:

Johannes Paul.
with my code it will show: Johannes P

How can I change this so if the second or third name doesn't fit
within the 10 characters
it will not be shown at all?

Regards
Marco
