[PHP] Echo small snippet of content

[Sean]

Using Gibbo's Newsys And I want to have it so when it displays the new CONTENT it only displays a few lines, That way they have to click read more to view whole article

Firstly, you can use substr() to cut the content to just a number of characters long, then you can add the "read more" when finding the while()loop where the MySQL results will be in.

Use substr to limit how much it shows!
Example of use:

<?php
 
    $string = 'really long string of text and such that people will get to view when they click read MOAR and read MOAR so I get MOAR views and shit';
    //Will return really long string of text...
    echo substr($string,0,25) . '...';
 
?>
