limit string length

[Pico_Train]

Hi!

Say I have a string in an array that is 2000 characters long but I only want to display the first 100 characters.

Is there a php function that does that sort of thing or a combination of functions I can use together to do it?

Thanks!

echo substr [uk.php.net]($string,0,100);

Nice one, cool thanks! I might have a few more like this coming as my knowledge of functions is limited at the moment.

Its worth taking a look at the string functions on the PHP website. There you can see working examples and get a feel for how some of them work. You won`t use all of them during your programming life, but many are huge time savers.
