Trimming Row output for display

[Jolten]

Hi,

I've got a query and string to display some information and usernames. One problem I'm having is long usernames. I'd like to truncate usernames longer than 8 characters to 6 characters then add ... after it. I can't seem to get this working in my while loop. Any help would be appreciated.

here's what I've got right now inside the while loop

if (strlen($row2->strUsrid) > 8)
								{
									$Winner = substr($row2->strusrid, 0, 8 - 2) . '..';
								}
