Hello Xavier Thanks for your quick response... That sorted out the problem... I have added "..." at the end of the product name as it truncates in the middle of the word... echo substr($this->row->product_name, 0, 50)."..."; ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png ":)") Thanks again --- Thanks and regards Yogi [ www.barnetpcservices.com](http://www.barnetpcservices.com) [ www.in2computing.com](http://www.in2computing.com) Last edit: 13 years 9 months ago by [in2computing](/forum/user/9278-in2computing "View in2computing's Profile").
