Resize phrase with this PHP function

Ever wanted to resize a title or a phraze? This function does it very well. It's perfect when you need to show just a small title if you, a summary of what's next if you click or to resize it in order to fit some fixed table row. Who knows how many other situations require a resize. It's set to add 3 dots "..." after each resize to show the visitor that it was resized. You can remove this feature if you like.

function titleResize($titleText) {
	$maxLength = 15; ## the maximum length of a word is 20 characters
	$newText = "";
	$titleText = $titleText;
	$titleWords = explode(" ",$titleText);
	for ($i=0; $i<count($titleWords); $i++) {
		if (strlen($titleWords[$i])>$maxLength) 
        $newText .= substr($titleWords[$i],0,$maxLength-3)."... ";
		else $newText .= $titleWords[$i]." ";
	}
	return $newText;
}
