Im working on my own news managment system for my web site, and I would like
to be able to post on the main page the article header, and just the first
200 or so characters of the actual content of the article.
How can this be done? Using PHP3 and MySQL? Is there a specific PHP or
MySQL function that would accomplish this?
Thanks in advance,
