Ограничаване на символи (текст)

[roskata]

Някой може ли да нагоди този скрипт да ограничава символите до 20, и след това да слага (...). Мерси.

<?php
$db_host = "localhost";
$db_user = "root";
$db_password = "...";
$db_name = "..";
$table_preffix = "ipb_";
$show_topics = 10;
$forum_path = "http://site.com/forum/";
$table_topics = $table_preffix."topics";
$connection = @mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_password) or die ("MySQL Fatal Error");
@mysql_select_db($db_name);
mysql_query("SET NAMES latin1")or die(mysql_error());
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table_topics ORDER BY tid DESC LIMIT 0, $show_topics");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
$title = $row[title];
$address = $row[tid];
$address = $forum_path."index.php?showtopic=".$address;
echo '<img src=images/f_post.png> <a href="'.$address.'" target="_blank"><font face=verdana size=2>'.$title.'</font></a><br /> ';
}
?>
