Rotating Posts : Script – Excerpts

1. This is the content output code in Mark Inderhees rotating_post.php file:

echo "        <div class='rp_post_content'>{$postContent}</div>\n";

2. How do I wrap the following code around the above statment:

<?php
  $excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
  echo string_limit_words($excerpt,25);
?>

IF…. this is the code in my functions.php file:

<?php
function string_limit_words($string, $word_limit)
{
  $words = explode(' ', $string, ($word_limit + 1));
  if(count($words) > $word_limit)
  array_pop($words);
  return implode(' ', $words);
}
?>
