How can I download and display first 200 or 250 characters from a web-page?
<p>I have a list of urls for which I want to display first 200 or 250 characters. Can I do it using jquery or should I download them on the server side [using PHP] and store them in database?</p>

<p>I guess I will have to use fopen with limit of characters. **</p>

<h1>Edit</h1>

<p>First 200 characters of "body" excluding tags. Like summary</p>
