Show part of a string

[Samg]

I want to show only the last 2 characters of a string.

For example, if $year is now "2004", what do I do that it should only be the last 2 chars ("04")?

Or, if $creditcard is now "5112000011115252", and I only want to show the last 4 digits ("5252"). Can anyone please help?

Thanks

I think this is what your looking for.

http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php

<?php
$rest = substr("abcdef", 1); // returns "bcdef"
$rest = substr("abcdef", 1, 3); // returns "bcd"
$rest = substr("abcdef", 0, 4); // returns "abcd"
$rest = substr("abcdef", 0, 8); // returns "abcdef"

// Accessing via curly braces is another option
$string = 'abcdef';
echo $string{0}; // returns a
echo $string{3}; // returns d
?>

Hope it helps.

Wow, fast and to the point. Thanks you very much!

Just to make it clear for someone else looking for the answer, I'll spell out the answer.

$year = substr($year, -2); // returns the last 2 characters
$creditcard = substr($creditcard, -4); // returns the last 4

Thanks again.
