Return Query Results with a limited number of characters

Asked by bernsoft1 in PHP Scripting Language

Tags: sql, php, asp

I have a table with names:

ID,Firstname,Lastname
1,Ben,Jack
2,James,Peter
3,Mary,Alice
4,Peyton,Sawyer
5,Lucas,Scott

I need to pull this information by a php script and have a response of MAX 20 character. i.e run a query then start from the top to construct variable of all records but MAX 20 characters e.g

$result = Ben,Jack\nJames,Peter\nMary,Alice
and continue for as long as LENGTH of $result is not more than 20 characters.


Help please.
