This is perfect. I was not sure how to use the brackets with a variable for
position. Thank you very much

Why don't you just check whether the first character is an "S" then
return only the rest of the string if it is? Like:
<?php
$my_string = 'S12345';
if ($my_string{0} == 'S'){
$rest_of_the_string = substr($my_string, 1);
}
echo $rest_of_the_string;
?>
Of course, there could be some other way...
