A quick (and possibly nasty) way of getting the effect of a substr to break at a space (or
punctuation) is to use ereg_replace:
$length = 50;
$mySubstring = ereg_replace("^(.{1,$length})[ .,].*", "\\1", $myOrigString);
this will give you a string that is 50 characters at the most but won't break in the middle of
a word.
CheerZ :)
