&lthtml xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
&lthead >

{
$listedword=substr($message,0,15);

    Thank you for the code, it helped greatly.

    I had one question though:

    If $message="techno tiger website"; Then the output is "techno tiger we...".

    Is it possible to write code that will not cut words in half? So for example the code output would be "techno tiger..."?

    Thanks.
