[SOLVED] How to limit chars?

[TD]

Hi, could please someone tell me, how can i limit the echo chars from database,

example, i have in table a row where is many text written, but i need only to echo first 150 chars.

 

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $tab where (val=$vid and $subisa and $subisb and $subisc and $subisd) order by title asc limit $limitvalue, $user_view_limit");
   while($r=mysql_fetch_array($sql)) 
   {  
$title=$r["title"] ;
$text=$r["content"] ;
echo "<h2>$title</h2>";
echo "<br/><h3>$text</h3>";

echo substr($r["content"], 0, 150);  

 

substr

i suppose u can use str_split() method that can split the string into an array of characters.then echo the array contents till a limit of 150.
