How can PHP be used to truncate text based on character count and line breaks?

To truncate text based on character count and line breaks in PHP, you can use the `mb_strimwidth()` function to limit the number of characters displayed while preserving line breaks in the text. This function allows you to specify the desired character count and ending string to denote truncation.

$text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.";
$truncated_text = mb_strimwidth($text, 0, 50, '...'); // Truncate text to 50 characters with ellipsis as the ending string
echo $truncated_text;
