[SOLVED] Only display certain amount of a text variable

I have this:

<?php echo nl2br ($row['comments']);?>

 

Let's say I only want to display the first 50 characters and replace the rest with [...]

Is there a way to do this?  Then if the user wants to read the whole thing they click and the entire thing could be displayed. 

Thanks!
