[RESOLVED] Strip string and display first portion.

[agulaid]

Just a quick question, I have the script below only i would like to strip the last 3 characters from $phrase and display "abc" how would i do that? I've been searching the web but couldnt find anything.

<?php 

$phrase = "abca d"; 

$num_char = strlen($phrase); 
echo $num_char; 
 ?>

$allButLast3Chars = substr($string, 0, -3);
