This add a bit more functionality, in that it will adjust to the nearest end
of a word, and includes a 'more' link to the full text. This also assumes
that the article may already only be 50 chars or less.
$maxsize = 50; // might be better as a DEFINE
$post = $row->text;
$post = (strlen($post) > $maxsize ) ? substr(substr($post,0,$maxsize-1), 0,
strrpos(substr($post,0,$maxsize-1),' '))."...<a
href='your_url_to_full_text'> more</a>" : $post;
