hey i see this code alot a places and i think its kool but i cant seem to get it

when u get a new PM and it looks like this

$user $pmpreview
username hi there.....

any one can help me wit this?

[Loony]

well im using subjects but im guessing its just a query alowing a certain number of letters.

[crazybrumi]

thats easy lol.. just output the subject conect next to the username lol.. intergrate it into ur existing is statement.

[Loony]

try using

echo substr("$messagevariable", 0, 20);

this would return the first 20 letters simply change the number 20 to how many chars u want to display

i justed tested and its working

[Loony]

function word_limiter($str, $n = 10, $end_char = '…')
{
	if (strlen($str) < $n)
	{
		return $str;
	}
	
	$words = explode(' ', preg_replace("/\s+/", ' ', preg_replace("/(\r\n|\r|\n)/", " ", $str)));
	
	if (count($words) <= $n)
	{
		return $str;
	}
			
	$str = '';
	for ($i = 0; $i < $n; $i++)
	{
		$str .= $words[$i].' ';
	}

	return trim($str).$end_char;
}

will return 10 words as well

all u need is there just look at the other lava function and you will figure it out
