i was wondering how to add a break in a blog post after a certain amount of characters... any idea on how to do this???

this is the code i'm workig with

<?php

$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("blog", $connect) or die(mysql_error());

echo "<h1>Blog</h1>";

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM blog");

if (mysql_num_rows($query) == 0) {
echo "<hr />There are no posts yet, make the first in the admin section!";
} else {
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
echo "<hr />";
$title2 = $row['title'];
$name = $row['name'];
$email = $row['email'];
$post = $row['post'];
$date = $row['date'];
$time = $row['time'];

echo "<h3>Title: " . $title2 . "</h3><table width='100%'><tr><td><b>Posted by: " . $name . "(" . $email . ") at " . $time . " on " . $date . "</b></td></tr><tr><td>" . nl2br(strip_tags($post)) . "</td></tr></table>n";
}
}

echo "<hr />";

$page = $_GET['p'];
if ($page) {
$path = "/inc/" . $page . ".php";
if (file_exists($path)) {
include ($path);
}
}

echo "Are you an admin? <a href='index.php?p=blog&p=credentials'>Place a post</a>";
