Change the php limit text function by adding some kind of offset to it

Maybe you guys can help:

I have a variable called $ bio with bio data.

$bio = "Hello, I am John, I'm 25, I like fast cars and boats. I work as a blogger and I'm way cooler then the author of the question";

I searched for $ bio using a set of functions to search for a specific word, say "author" , which adds a span class around this word , and I get:

$bio = "Hello, I am John, I'm 25, I like fast cars and boats. I work as a blogger and I'm way cooler then the <span class=\"highlight\">author</span> of the question";

I use a function to limit text to 85 characters:

$bio = limit_text($bio,85);

The problem is that the word "author" in $ bio has more than 80 characters. When applied limit_text(), I will not see the highlighted author of the word.

, limit_text() , , span . - :

*"This is the limited text to 85 chars, but there are no words with the span class highlight so I am putting to be continued ... **author**, **author2** (and all the other words that have a span class highlight around them separate by comma "*

, , , , .

limit_text():

function limit_text($text, $length){ // Limit Text
        if(strlen($text) > $length) {
        $stringCut = substr($text, 0, $length);
        $text = substr($stringCut, 0, strrpos($stringCut, ' '));
        }
        return $text;
    }

UPDATE

$xturnons = str_replace(",", ", ", $xturnons);
$xbio = str_replace(",", ", ", $xbio);

$xbio = customHighlights($xbio,$toHighlight); 
$xturnons = customHighlights($xturnons,$toHighlight);

$xbio = limit_text($xbio,85);
$xturnons = limit_text($xturnons,85);

customHighlights, span:

function addRegEx($word){ // Highlight Words
        return "/" . $word . '[^ ,\,,.,?,\.]*/i';
    }
    function highlight($word){
        return "<span class='highlighted'>".$word[0]."</span>";
    }
    function customHighlights($searchString,$toHighlight){
        $searchFor = array_map('addRegEx',$toHighlight);
        $result = preg_replace_callback($searchFor,'highlight',$searchString);
        return $result;
    }

Both keywords are outside the character 85 characters, so they are added at the back, separated by a comma.

Let me know if this works for you :)
