hi,
ok this is that I am trying to do. I am working on a thing for my site where a user can type an article, and submit it. then on the main page i want it to show the author, date etc., and only the first 100 words or so of their article is shown in the "summary"

anyone know how to pull only 100 words of something from a mysql database "text" field?

thanks,
Trevor
