PHP text truncate limit characters

I have $Description field is a long text from MySql database. Following displays the full text but I really want to display only 50 characters instead of full text length.

 <?php  echo $row['Description'];?>

I have tried several different options but I don't get any results.

I hope someone can guide me through this. Thank you for your time and help.

Sincerely,

You can use a substr 

<?php  echo substr($row['Description'], 0, 50);   ?>
