Look at the SQL functions: LEFT(), MID(), RIGHT() and SUBSTRING(). I.e. SELECT LEFT(longfield, 100) FROM table This will bring back the first 100 characters from the longfield column (assuming it has 100 characters in it). -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php ********************************************************************* The information contained in this e-mail message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.
