Question

I have created a news section for a website I’m working on. I’d like to show the first few words of the article then a link to the rest. I’m kicking myself because I remember a few months ago seeing an article on exactly how to do this, but I have no idea where I found it.

I know how to grab the first so many characters from a string but it gets more tracking when you are trying to grab words instead. If anyone could point me in the direction of a tutorial or article along these things I’d be very grateful.

Answer 1

Here is a link to a blog that will return the first X words from a string.
