Hola tengo una consulta ya que no se mucho de php, por lo que acudo a ustedes para ver si se puede hacer esto.
La cuestion es que quiero que en el siguiente codigo $news_content tenga una maximo de 200 caracteres a mostrar. Agradezco de antemano su ayuda, saludos
global $sql2, $tp;
$caption = "Noticias";
$no_news = "No new News";
$sol_separator = "<tr>";
$eol_separator = "<br /></tr>";
$qry = "SELECT news_id, news_title, news_thumbnail, news_body, news_datestamp, news_summary FROM #news WHERE news_render_type = 0 ORDER BY news_id DESC LIMIT 0,4";
if($sql2->db_Select_gen($qry))
{
$n_text = "<table width='100%' border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>
";
while ($row = $sql2->db_Fetch())
{
$title = $tp->toHTML($row['news_title']);
$news_content = $tp->toHTML($row['news_body']);
$newssummary = $tp->toHTML($row['news_summary']);
$date = strftime("<div style=' font-style:italic; color: #FFF;'>%d %b : %H:%M</div>", $row['news_datestamp']);
$newsimage = ($row['news_thumbnail']) ? "<td style='vertical-align:top;padding:0px;width:20px''><img src='".e_IMAGE."newspost_images/".$row['news_thumbnail']."' alt='' width='60px' height='60px' padding='5px' /></td>" : "";
$n_text .=$sol_separator . "".$newsimage."<td style='text-align:left;padding:3px;vertical-align:top'><a href='".e_HTTP."comment.php?comment.news.".$row['news_id']."'><span class='noticias'>".$title."</span></a><br /><span class='noticias_extend'>".$news_content."</span>" .$eol_separator;
}
$n_text .= " </table>";
}
else
{
$n_text = $no_news;
}
$ns->tablerender($caption, $n_text);
