guttyguppy Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Let's say I want a brief portion of a paragraph of text to show up on my homepage. The paragraph is in a mysql database and may have anywhere from 100 to 1000 words, whatever. I just want the first 15 or so. I know I can use substr to get a certain number of characters, but I may end up with the last word getting cut off. I want to make sure the 15th word is a whole word. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
