Croping a string

[Anon]

I need to limit the display size of a certain column in a table, when reading multiple rows from the database.

The piece of code where it should happen:

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

echo "<td>$row[name]<td>\n";}

I want $row[name] to be delimited to the first 10 characters.

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
if (strlen($row["name"]) > 10) {
$name = substr($row["name"], 0, 10);
}
else {
$name = $row["name"];
}
echo "<td>$name<td>\n";}
}
