delimeters

[Anon]

I need some way to display just the first of many paragraphs of what is in my database. In ASP it was pretty simple, but I'm having a hard time understanding php.

Thanks

I forgot to mention the delimeter I'm trying to use. It's <br> and here is the code in ASP:

<%
Delimeter = "<br>"
txt = rsNews("content")
paragraph = Left( txt, InStr( txt, delimeter) -1 )
Response.Write paragraph
%>

Thanks again

$txt = $rsNews["content"];
$paragraphs = explode ("<BR>", $txt);
echo $paragraphs[0];
