substr is the easiest method, but that's characters, you want to limit words then you're gonna have to make a function

PHP Code:

function return_words($string)
{
    global vbulletin;

    $word = 0;
    
    $string = explode(' ', $string);

    foreach ($string AS $key => $value)
    {
        if ($word == $vbulletin->option['blog_words_returned'])
        {
            break;
        }
        else
        {
            $string .= " " . $value;
        }

        $word++;
    }

    return trim($string);
} 


something like that
