The way you have this written, PHP is using the . for concatenation. To fix
the problem you need to alternate or escape the quotes, i.e. :
$result = mysql_query("SELECT substring_index(body, \".\" ,2) FROM news"
or
$result = mysql_query('SELECT substring_index(body, "." ,2) FROM news'
or
$result = mysql_query("SELECT substring_index(body, '.' ,2) FROM news"
Hope that helps,
