#23117 [Opn->Bgs]: Python-style array subsets

ID: 23117 Updated by: andrey@php.net Reported By: eblount at implode dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: All PHP Version: 5CVS-2003-04-08 (dev) New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. in PHP the Engine is "thin". For the first example use array_slice(). For the second use substr(). It's preferred to use {} instead of [] for strings.

Thanks, Eric Blount eblount@implode.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23117&edit=1
