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...
Good Luck!
