Is there a way to display a certain amount of text?

I have a field in my database called description. How can I echo out only 500 out of the 2000 max characters?

 

Like for example:

 

$query = mysql_query("SELECT description FROM `servers` ORDER BY votes DESC LIMIT 5");

 

If I were to echo out the value of description for the database, how can I only echo out the first 500 characters?
