Displaying a page (limit)

Hi i'm abit new to this but ive come across a problem that i can't seem to figure out and thats why i'm posting this.

I have a site with many pages etc. Some pages literally break my tables because there is so much text displaying etc.

How can i limit the amount of text that is displaying and then show a link to see the other parts of it?

I have seen a few navigation systems around here but what i don't understand is that i have one field called "text" ( this is where the article is ) so i can't say row limit = 5 or something can i?

I hope someone can clear this up for me as i'm quite stumped.

Cheers.

RE: Displaying a page (limit)

Some Hints to you

check the refrences for
following functions
substr();
explode();
implode();
count();
see if you can use these fuctions to your use.

an overview

php Code:

Original - php Code
$start=$_GET['start']; $length=500; substr($text, $start, $length); or $array_text=explode($text," "); // then you can use $array_to_show=array_slice() $text_to_show=implode(" ", $array_to_show); //this is not complete , but I think you can get a broad picture of script.

 
$start=$_GET['start'];
$length=500;
substr($text, $start, $length);
 
or
$array_text=explode($text," ");
// then you can use 
$array_to_show=array_slice()
 
$text_to_show=implode(" ", $array_to_show);
 
//this is not complete , but I think you can get a broad picture of script.
