Because of:

if ( strlen( $article_seo, $article_title ) > $length)


You should change this line to this:

if ( strlen( $article_title ) > $length)

Why this doesn't work in article_latest block?


while( list( $article_seo, $article_title ) = $database -> dbrow( $results ) )

                    {

                 

                  $length = 22; 

                if ( strlen( $article_seo, $article_title ) > $length) 

                { 

                    $article_title = substr ( $article_title, 0, $length ) . "..."; 

                }  



                         $articles_latest .= "&middot; <a href=\"" . $seo_url . "articles" . $preferences[ 'param_action' ] . "summary" . $preferences[ 'param_page' ] . $article_seo . ".html\">" . htmlspecialchars( $article_title ) . "</a><br />";

Open /blocks/news_latest.php in an editor and find this line:

                          $news_latest .= "&middot; <a href=\"" . $seo_url . "news" . $preferences[ 'param_action' ] . "story" . $preferences[ 'param_page' ] . $newsstory_seo . ".html\">" . htmlspecialchars( $newsstory_title ) . "</a><br />";


and then add before:

                               $length = 22;

                             if ( strlen( $newsstory_title ) > $length)

                             {

                             $newsstory_title = substr ( $newsstory_title, 0, $length ) . "...";

                         }
