Hi, Using Dreamweaver, PHP and mySQL..
calling data from teh database and displaying it on page, but would like to only display 2 lines or say 200 characters (which ever is easiest) followed by ...
Here is my code, can anyone shed light on how to do this.. Cheers
<td>
<h3>
<a href="tour-details.php?<?php echo $MM_keepURL.(($MM_keepURL!="")?"&":"")."ID=".urlencode($row_rsNSWSS['ID']) ?>" class="linkblue"><?php echo $row_rsNSWSS['Synopsis']; ?></a>
</h3>
</td>
The simplest solution is to use [man]substr/man. Or, it might be more efficient to use MySQL's SUBSTRING function in your query.
Oh, did I mention that I am not a 'coder' but a 'designer' hence I use Dreamweaver to do all the hard work 
Could you give an example or a link to some data/text?
I call several data fields from the database, so I would presume it wold be easiest to use the substring() in each line where I want to display that particular datafield? rather than in the recordset code..
Mate, any hint is greatly appreciated..
