[lilwing]

just curious.. plesae give me an example of what line 7 would look like

 

$string= results;

$cutoff = strlen($string);

if($cutoff=>500)
{
echo first500chars; //waht would this be?
echo "... <br /><br /> <a href="page.php?storyid=something">Click here to read more</a>
}
else
{
echo $string;
}

substr() is the function you want - http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php

echo substr($yourstring, 0, 500);
