basically trying to take a string that is over 35 characters and prune
anything over 25 characters with a ...

while most lines work there seems to be a problem on lines with really long words not neccessarily in the range of the wordwrap, when this happens it doesnt seem to prune at all

if (strlen($row['Descr']) > 35) {
  $newdescr = wordwrap($row['Descr'], 25, "<end>");
  $newdescr = preg_replace("/^(.*)<end>(.*)$/", "$1...", $newdescr);
  trim($newdescr);
} else { 
  $newdescr = $row['Descr']; 
}
