Subject: [PHP] Shortening a String
I would like to display part of the output of a query. In many cases,
the string returned by this query exceeds 200 characters. Is there a
way to cut it off after 200 characters? Even better, is there a way to
cut it off at the next space after 200 characters?
Thank you for any assistance,
- Jason
