Troncare testo tramite php

[d4rkcloud]

Provato, ma niente da fare.
Se inserisco questo:

<h3 class="TzPortfolioTitle name">
                            <?php if($params->get('link_titles',1)) : ?>
                                <a<?php if($params -> get('tz_use_lightbox') == 1){echo ' class="fancybox fancybox.iframe"';}?> href="<?php echo $row ->link; ?>">
                                    <?php echo substr($item->title,0,strpos($item->title,'|'));  ?>
                                </a>
                            <?php else : ?>
                                <?php echo $this->escape($row -> title); ?>
                            <?php endif; ?>
                        </h3>

Scompare tutto. Se invece metto questo:

<h3 class="TzPortfolioTitle name">
                            <?php if($params->get('link_titles',1)) : ?>
                                <a<?php if($params -> get('tz_use_lightbox') == 1){echo ' class="fancybox fancybox.iframe"';}?> href="<?php echo $row ->link; ?>">
                                    <?php echo $this->escape($row -> title); ?><?php echo substr($item->title,0,strpos($item->title,'|'));  ?>
                                </a>
                            <?php else : ?>
                                <?php echo $this->escape($row -> title); ?>
                            <?php endif; ?>
                        </h3>

non tronca niente...
