Subject: [PHP] Extract of a Paragraph

Hi list,

I would like to show a extract (first 50 words of a text), in order to
construct something similar to articles view with read more link.

To Extract the first 50 words, should I use str_word_count, and
explode/implode or there´s another way, much simple.

Any sample would be apreciated.
Regards
