selecting text by line?

[subodh_dg]

Is selecting text by line possible?
I have text data in database. I want to show it's first two lines in bold and remaining as as usual. How can achieve this. I have selected the data in string.
Also, is it possible to show text after fix string in to new formatting.
THis problem arise , as I have data where title is followed by it's description followed by it's content. So, I need to separate them accordingly. In between they have new lines.

You can split your text on every new line using [man]explode[/man]. If you need only first two lines you can do it like this:

list($title,$description,$content) = explode("\n",$text,3);

$content will have the rest of the text even if there are more new lines in it,because of the limit of three elements.
