Replace:

$output.=$loop[$x][title] ."<br />";

With:

$limit = '25'; // Set to your preference
$textin = $loop[$x][title];
if(strlen($textin)>$limit){
$textin = substr($textin,0,$limit);
$textout = substr($textin,0,-(strlen(strrchr($textin,' '))) )."…";}
else{$textout = $textin;}
$output.=$textout ."<br />";


This shortens the string to whatever you specify as the limit, drops any word fragment, and ads the ellipsis (…)
