never mind i worked it out
function create_caption($content,$max_length,$primaryID,$ID) {
if (strlen($content) > $max_length) {
$paragraph_i=".";
$position=strpos($content,$paragraph_i);
if (is_integer($position)) {
$preview=substr($content,0,$position);
$preview.="... [ <a
href=\"".$GLOBAL['PHP_SELF']."?".$primaryID."=".$ID."\"> More </a>]";
return $preview;
}
} else {
return $content;
}
}
explodes and splits were not getting the "." properly
