sub-string ?

[habbardone]

Hi,
Is there a substring function in PHP

I want to get just the first
five characters of the string

something like ?

$string1 = substring($string1,5)

does anyone know the correct syntax ?

[thorpe]

you really need to download the manual. www.php.net/manual

Yes, take a look at the manual for [man]substr/man

$string = substr($string, 0, 5);
