kyleldi Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm trying to echo a field of my database and limit its characters using substr, but I can't seem to get it right. Any ideas? It's supposed to limit character output to 15 characters. My Code: <?php echo substr($row_rs_news['fulltext'], 0,15); ?> Any suggestions would be appreciated Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/146887-solved-using-substr-to-limit-characters/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Verify that your variable passed in has the text. What does not work right mean? As far as substr is concerned your usage is sound/correct. EDIT: Post an example of the string you are trying to chop and what you expect it to be.
