    I want cut long strings. For example
    <?php
$sentence = "Hello, my name is Pikachu, and I want to give you some electroshock."; //here were over 20 characters
// cut $sentence from 10th charecter and use the firs part, throw away the second part
echo $sentence;
//the output will be "Hello, my "
?>
    PHP:
    Do you know what function I have to use for that?

    Oh, yes. My real problem was with 290/150 characters. It was just a simple example.
