Jamie,
There was a post earlier very similar to this. If you have a database, you
could use SELECT LEFT(mycolumn, 100) FROM mytable WHERE ...
Without a db, you can use the PHP substring function:
substr()
Hope this helps,

Subject: [PHP] selecting words
Hi,
What I'd like to do is take a string (paragraph) of text consisting of say
500 words and display only the first 100 words. Is there a function able to
do this?
Thanks.
Jamie
