RE: [PHP-WIN] News with MySQL

I'm doing the same thing kind of differently. Instead of storing the first paragraph seperately from the whole story I'm just reading up to the first <br> (which I insert when the story is typed in by the user) The code for just using the first paragraph looks like this: else { $story = split ("<br>", $story, 2); echo "<P>$place - ${story[0]} <a href=\"${full_story_page}?print=true&story_key=$key\">Read more...</a></P>\n\n"; } $story is the whole story pulled The split breaks the story up in to bieces by <br>'s and then the ${story[0]} just uses the first piece...
