I have tried to search for help, but since I am unsure as to what it is called, I am unable to get the right answer.
I am creating my own blog. I have everything working the way I want it to with posts and responses. The only thing I am unable to do is this.
When the thread is returned from the DB, it is usually lengthly. I want it to display say, the first 100 words, then end that with something like "...." and have a link show "Click to read more" (or something like that), where it would either open up a page with the whole story, or use some jscript and just show it on the same page.
Can someone point me in the right direction by giving me an example or telling me what this is called so I can search for it? I fell on the word "concatenation" and I think that may be it, but have yet to find what I need.
ANy help would be appreciated.
