if ($post_pingtrackbacks = $wpdb->get_results($sql) ) {

$number_of_pingtrackbacks = count($post_pingtrackbacks);

if ($number_of_pingtrackbacks == 1) {
echo "<div id='pingtrackback'><h3 style='font-size:16px;margin-bottom:10px'>One Pingback/Trackback</h3><ul>";

$comment_summary = $post_pingtrackback->comment_content;
echo substr( $comment_summary, 0, strrpos( substr( $comment_summary, 0, 90), ' ' ) ) . ' ...';

echo "n<li><a href='";
