Show the first 236 characters....

Well, say I have a variable of text, $text. This variable may have 400 characters or more. What I want to do is cut out the extra characters, leaving it with 236, and if the original variable ($text) is more than 236 characters, it should add "..." after it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If it's just a variable:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (strlen($text) > 236)

{

    $text = substr($text, 0, 236) . "...";

}

If it's directly in a query:
[sql]
IF(LENGTH(field) > 236, CONCAT(SUBSTRING(text, 0, 236), "..."), field)
[/sql]
