Re: Another Newbish Question: Truncation

[Stephen Johnson]

It looks to me that you are doing that in a  PHP script -- I do not think
that left() is a valid PHP function.  You can use left() function in MySQL
but not in PHP.  

For PHP you should do

$string = substr($myrow, 0,512);
echo"$string";
