Hi,
How can I start searching for the first space in a string while starting at
say the 150th character? I'm trying to display the first 150 characters of
an article that is stored in a LONGTEXT filed of a MYSQL database, and
should the 150th character be inside a word, I would want to finish
displaying that word.
For example supose the 150th character is the v in the word "privileges" I
would want to finish displaying the word and end with "privileges" rather
then ending with"priv"
thanks
