printing data to browser

[webnewone]

Hi all !

I have this query:

$query = "SELECT * FROM $reftable WHERE period='$period' ";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

$email = $row["email"];

echo "$email";

Pretty straight forward right?

Thing is, sometimes the email address is to long for where I want to put it. Is it possible to somehow limit the characters printed in the row array email? If so how would I do that??

Thanks!!

Look up substr().

Thanks for that - exactly what I needed - is there no end to the magic that is PHP !
