[RESOLVED] Select lines from a text field

[phprooky]

Hi everybody,
I have a table where I have a text field filled by a user with a lot of information and in my webpage I need to bring part of that information, just like 3 lines. How can I make a select to bring the 3 first lines of my database text field? And how can I tell php also to bring the first 10 words of these 3 lines?

Thanks in advance!!

How do you define where a line ends? If they end with a carriage return and/or a NewLine character, you could use explode(), then array_shift() to pop off the first three lines...
