PHP Tutorial : Substract part of string with substr

Apr 10, 2009 Basic PHP

Hello,

I didn’t posted for a long time because I am simply stucked into finding a subject. I made a search into my own blog and I saw that (miraculous btw) I didn’t writed yet about substr function which helps you to print only a part of a string – substract it!

<?php
$stringIs = "mystring";
$substract = substr($stringIs, 0, 3);
print $subtract; //this will print my

?>

First you declare the string you want substracted, then first number means from where to start and the last no. means where to finish.

Taddaaa!
