RE: [PHP] Characters counting

What exactly do you need? If you have a variable that contains a string, you can do echo substr($var,0,150) to print the first 150 characters... or, are you trying to limit the amount in the mysql query? I believe you have to get the whole result then limit it in php, but others might know better about that... -jack -----Original Message----- From: Jorn van Eck [mailto:Jorn.van.Eck@iie.nl] Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2000 3:24 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Characters counting Hi there, Does someone know how to display for example150 characters from a $ set by MySQL? -- Jorn van Eck Student Information Engineering Almere Tel: +31 614430902 E-mail: Jorn.van.Eck@iie.nl Website: http://www.iie.nl/~eck13 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
