help me to set a code

[Lue_chin]

hello friends i have a idea and want a code for this
can we paste the first 15 character of a story
means i have a full story or description about something

For ex : if a description
nokia 5233 is the mobile which have more powerful fictions and i want to paste like this Nokia 5233 is the mobile.....

can we do this with php

[something else]

taken from php.net

<?php
$rest = substr("abcdef", 0, -1);  // returns "abcde"
$rest = substr("abcdef", 2, -1);  // returns "cde"
$rest = substr("abcdef", 4, -4);  // returns false
$rest = substr("abcdef", -3, -1); // returns "de"
?>

Just realized i copyied the above code with negative last numbers .... they can be positive also (counting from begining of string)
so in your case you would need

$rest = substr($rest, 0, 15);  // returns first 15 chars
