PHP Snippet on a web page

I am not sure whether this is the right place to ask this but I have been having great hassle trying to get this to work This script gets a snippet from a paragraph in a mysql database and displays it on a web page......I want it to display the first 10 words in a paragraph but what ever I have tried it will only give me one word.... in the case of the version of the script below, just the first word. The *"1/10" *in this line should be what determines how many words will be displayed... * *stripslashes(nl2br(cut_string($row["comment"],*"1/10"*,"<a href=\"full_summ.php?id=$row[id]\"> =============================== <?php function cut_string($string,$wordnum,$trail) {

       $string_arr=explode(" ",$string);
       for($i=0;$i<$wordnum;$i++)

       {
           $re_string=" ".$string_arr[$i];
       }
       $str=$re_string.$trail;

       print $str;

} //connect, select db, create query, run query, close connection $conn=mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password") or die(mysql_error()); $database=mysql_select_db("fback", $conn)or die(mysql_error());

$sql="SELECT * FROM customer_feedback ORDER by id DESC LIMIT 25";          $result=mysql_query($sql);

//PHP goes into while loop to return summaries of comments while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo"<TR><td><B>Date: " ..strftime('%d/%m/%y',strtotime($row["date"]))."</B></td><td><B>Comment By:</B> ".Stripslashes($row["name"])."<td></tr>"; echo"<TR><TD COLSPAN=\"2\" valign\"top\"><B>Comment: </B>"; stripslashes(nl2br(cut_string($row["comment"],"1/10","<a href=\"full_summ.php?id=$row[id]\"> Read More>>></a>"))); echo"</td></tr>"; } //close database mysql_close($conn); ?> Any Ideas?
