Hi, that didn't work 1st time although it certainly got me moving in the
right direction.....it repeated each word (1 to 10) with the hypertext
link "read more>>>" attached to each word which was very messy indeed.
I did a bit of juggling around and managed to get it perfect.
Many thanks for your help, greatly appreciated.
Regards
Jeremy
FYI:
<?php
function cut_string($string,$wordnum)
{
$string_arr=explode(" ",$string);
for($i=0;$i<$wordnum;$i++)
{
$re_string=" ".$string_arr[$i];
$str=$re_string;
print $str;
}
}
//connect, select db, create query, run query, close connection
$conn=mysql_connect("localhost", "userid", "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($row["comment"],"10")));
echo"<a href=\"full_summ.php?id=$row[id]\">More>>> </a>";
echo"<hr></td></tr>";
}
//close database
mysql_close($conn);
?>
Oops - spotted it - try this
function cut_string($string,$wordnum,$trail)
{
$string_arr=explode(" ",$string);
for($i=0;$i<$wordnum;$i++)
{
$re_string=" ".$string_arr[$i];
$str=$re_string.$trail;
print $str;
}
}
