I am not at all sure what your question is. Do you mean first 100 chars of a string or what? A bit more info would be welcome.

 

substr will do the trick.

Substr would be what you'd want to use.  It would be used something like this:

 

$str = "1234567890";
$str = substr($str, 0, 5);
echo $str;

 

The above would output "12345".
