I have a problem in PHP String Function. PLZ try to reply !!

any body can help to solve my problem, which is related to PHP String function.

Suppose:
description is a variable which contain following information

$description= "Since its creation in 2000, phpBB has become the most widely used Open Source forum solution. Like its predecessors, phpBB 3.0 “Olympus” has an easy to use administration panel and a user friendly installation process, which allows you to have a forum set up in minutes.";

now how I can retrieve only 20 character with space to another variable, like

$title="Since its creation in";

please try to provide solution with scripts.
I am waiting for reply !!!!!!!!

 

$title = substr($description, 0, 20);

PHP:

 

$description= "Since its creation in 2000, phpBB has become the most widely used Open Source forum solution. Like its predecessors, phpBB 3.0 “Olympus” has an easy to use administration panel and a user friendly installation process, which allows you to have a forum set up in minutes.";

This will not work. You need to escape the quotes around \“Olympus\”.

Peace,
