Hi there,
How would I go about getting the first 20 characters of a varibale or
database entry. The situation is this, I created a calendar where users can
post events and on the date instead of just a number (the number of events
and the date), I would like to show the first 20-30 characters of the event
name. I could do the whole event name but it could get quite long.
Thanks,
Dimitri Marshall
