[HELP] Read More

[Kryptos]

As I'm going to do a news system I want to know how to do the 'read more'
So, i get maybe... 50 characters from the message with a query and output them and then say 'Read more' to go to the articles url.
Anyone knows how to do this?

Take the coding from PHPretro or UberCMS or Holocms so on?

No, because they don't have it.
Anyone knows what's the query or the code?

This should work.

<?php
$previewLength = 50;
if(strlen(strip_tags($article)) > $previewLength) {
  echo substr(strip_tags($article), 0, $previewLength).'..<br /><br />[<a href="#">Read More</a>]';
}else{
  echo strip_tags($article).'<br /><br />[<a href="#">Read More</a>]';
}
?>
