You can use sbstr() function:
if (strlen($result) > 26)
echo substr($result, 0, 26) . '...';

two steps: 1.decide the length of the content using the substr() function, cut it off if it's more than the designated length and append an "......" behind while hiding the rest content,otherwise, display the whole content. 2.when click on the "read more",display the hidden part of the content
