Cut off long post_title

Hi all,

Firstly, apologies as I know this has been asked before but I can’t quite get any of the suggested ideas to work, so I’m hoping somebody will be kind enough to lend a hand.

I display the latest five posts on a page external to my blog, however when you get a long post_title it can mess up the appearance. I would like to turn.

“WordPress is a great tool for those who like to blog”
into
“WordPress is a great tool for those…”
(cut off after 35 characters and insert “…”)

Here is my current php code, which works (but displays full titles)

<?php
mysql_connect("******.******.******.***", "******_******", "******") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("wordpress_blog") or die(mysql_error());

$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status='publish' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 5") or die(mysql_error()); while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) 

{
Print "<font color='black' face='arial'><li><a href='/blog/?p=".$info['ID'] . "'>";
Print $info['post_title'];
Print "</a> <font color=#666666><i> - posted on ";
$date = date('j M \'y', strtotime($info['post_date']));
Print $date;
Print "</i>";
} 

 ?>

The code that needs changing is:
Print $info[‘post_title’];
but to what I do not know.

Hope somebody can help.

Thanks
