[Resolved] characters out a string (summary)

[keymonkey]

Greetings,

I have a large string which I want to summarise, what I can't figure out is: how to echo the first 24 characters from the string.

Thanks.

$text = substr($text,0,24);

think that will do
cheers

Use [man]substr/man

Thank you so much, that's awesome (1 line of code for 8 that didn't work)
