Can anyone see any problems with this code?

Do you mean the $box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext]? I'm sorry, I'm in the process of learning PHP, but I'm not too far along.

Yes, that's it.

This should work:

PHP Code:

if (strlen($box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext]) > '250')
            {
                $box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext] = fetch_trimmed_title($box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext], '250' . construct_phrase($vbphrase['read_more'], $vboptions['bburl'], $box_forumid_1thread['threadid'], $session['sessionurl']);
            }

I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in /homepages/24/d116946458/htdocs/vb/modules/features.php on line 55

It's probably because I put it in the wrong place, but I checked and I think I put it where it should be. BTW thanks for coming back and checking my progress

Ah, sorry, my bad.

Its supposed to be this:

PHP Code:

if (strlen($box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext]) > '250')
            {
                $box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext] = fetch_trimmed_title($box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext], '250') . construct_phrase($vbphrase['read_more'], $vboptions['bburl'], $box_forumid_1thread['threadid'], $session['sessionurl']);
            } 


And if that doesnt work, you can try this aswell:

PHP Code:

if (strlen($box_forumid_1_first_post['pagetext']) > '250')
            {
                $box_forumid_1_first_post['pagetext'] = fetch_trimmed_title($box_forumid_1_first_post['pagetext'], '250') . construct_phrase($vbphrase['read_more'], $vboptions['bburl'], $box_forumid_1thread['threadid'], $session['sessionurl']);
            }

I tried both, but a "read more" doesn't show up. Check it out here. Should something be added to the template?

[Deaths]

It should show up normally...

Try searching in your phrases for read_more, does that exist?

[BigIke]

GOT IT! I took out the previous code that limited the post length because it was conflicting with your code, which worked. Thanks so much man for all your help; before all of this I was going to pay someone to do this for me, so you saved me some money. Again, thanks for the time you've put into this, and thanks to others who contributed.
