$20 reward for Helping with a Small PHP Issue!

Hi all,

I have a small script publishing RSS on my site, and was wondering if someone would be able to quickly edit it to display only 5 lines of news, rather than displaying all the news in the feed.

Also, edit it so it only displays xxx characters then puts in "..." at the end. something like: .substr(,0,150)

Heres the script:

<?php
$insideitem = false;
$tag = "";
$title = "";
$description = "";
$link = "";
function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs) {
 global $insideitem, $tag, $title, $description, $link;
 if ($insideitem) {
  $tag = $name;
 } elseif ($name == "ITEM") {
  $insideitem = true;
 }
}
function endElement($parser, $name) {
 global $insideitem, $tag, $title, $description, $link;
 if ($name == "ITEM") {
  printf("<div class=\"cell-white\" onmouseover=\"this.className='cell-grey';\" onmouseout=\"this.className='cell-white';\" style=\"padding:5px; border-right: 1px solid #333333; border-left: 1px solid #333333; border-bottom: 1px solid #333333; \"><a style=\"font-weight:normal;\" href='%s'>%s</a></div>
  ",
  trim($link),htmlspecialchars(trim($title)));
  $title = "";
  $description = "";
  $link = "";
  $insideitem = false;
		
 }
}
function characterData($parser, $data) {
 global $insideitem, $tag, $title, $description, $link;
 if ($insideitem) {
 switch ($tag) {
  case "TITLE":
  $title .= $data;
  break;
  case "LINK":
  $link .= $data;
  break;
 }
 }
}
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterData");
$fp = fopen("http://www.nintendo.com/rss.xml","r")
 or die("Error reading RSS data.");
while ($data = fread($fp, 4096))
 xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))
  or die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
   xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),  
   xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
fclose($fp);
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
?>
