[SOLVED] wordwrap kinda problem

[DeanWhitehouse]

I have this code

<?php
$sql = "SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY time DESC";
$query = mysql_query($sql);
while($rows = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
$cont = wordwrap($rows['content'],3,"...");
echo $cont;
}
?>

 

and this outputs,

hel...ooo...this... etc.

 

how can i have it do

 

hel...

 

and stop after the

...

$cont=substr($rows['content'], 0, 3)."...";
