[PHP-DB] Only a section from the database result
I have articles in a MySQL database and I want creating a fast brows where people can read read the beginning of the articles and select the ones they want to read. How do I only display the first say 50 chars of a 5000 char article? $count = 1; while(($row = mysql_fetch_array($News)) or ($count 15)){ if(isset($row['threadid'])){ echo ba href='./showpost.php?t= . $row['threadid'] . ' . $row['title']. /a/bbr \; echo nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; . $row['dateline'] . -- by: . $row ['postusername'] . br \; echo nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Views: . $row['views'] . - Comments: . $row['replycount'] . br \br \; echo p . $row['pagetext'] . /p; //This is the variable I only want the fist 50 chars } $count++; } Thanks --Ben -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP-DB] can you use php to connect to both FileMaker and MySQL simultaneously
If you are using filemaker 8.0 you can connect using ODBC.
