Showing first 8 chars

[fean0r]

I want to show the first 8 chars of a forum post

$title="This is a Test Title";

This would show as "This is "

$title="abcdefghijklmnop";

would show "abcdefgh"

What would be the best way to do this?

Thanks

$title="abcdefghijklmnop";
echo substr($title, 0, 8);

Tada!

Lol.

substr should solve you problem.

check this manual for more info:http://au3.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php
