If I have a string in PHP, for example "Calculator" how can I use PHP to display just the "ator" part to the user?

ASPCode.net 02-23-2002, 02:31 PM Not sure how you want to split your string, but substr returns a portion of string specified by start position and length http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php heddesheimer 02-23-2002, 02:47 PM Try this: <? $string = "Calculator"; print substr($string, 6); ?> Marian :) BravoComm 02-23-2002, 03:35 PM Here's my contribution... may be a bit overkill but it works: <? $count = 0; $string = "calculator"; $num_chars = 4; $chars = preg_split('//', $string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY); foreach ($chars as $char) { $count = $count + 1; } $begin = $count - $num_chars; $end = substr("$string", $begin, $count); PRINT $end; ?> Just replace $string with the string and $num_chars with how many you want off the end. Hope this helps, Andrew |
