My apologies, I got it all wrong, I simply went and used the split
function and join those strings together, and it works.

Correction, my corrected code (mistake in the last line, echo
$row->data):
$sql_stmt = "SELECT id, data FROM announcements";
$query = mysql_query ($sql_stmt);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object ($query)) {
echo $row->id;
$tmp = explode (" ", $row->data, 10); #1
$data_stripped = implode (" ", $tmp); #2
### echo $row->data; #### my mistake, it should be this:
echo $data_stripped;
}

I have the following table structure called announcements
- id int(6)
- data longblob
And this is what i did:
$sql_stmt = "SELECT id, data FROM announcements";
$query = mysql_query ($sql_stmt);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object ($query)) {
echo $row->id;
$tmp = explode (" ", $row->data, 10); #1
$data_stripped = implode (" ", $tmp); #2
echo $row->data;
}
#1 the reason why I had used explode with " " (space character) as
the delimeter with the limit set to 10 is because I want to extract
only the first 10 words out of the "data".
#2 and string those 10 words into a string and display them out
instead of getting the intended results (the first 10 words), i get
"1111111"
is this because my "data" field type is longblob or blog?
