get part of a text variable

[fizzwizz]

I have a variable $var = abcdefghijklmno

how can i assign part of the string as the value of a new variable?

ie $var2 = fghijk

I hope you see what I am trying to do, i just want part of the text string ofthe first variable!

Consult the PHP manual. There's a function by the name of SubStr.
