[PHP-INSTALL] PHP Snippet on a web page

[Bluejays PC Services]

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?

Thanks!
Jeremy
