RE: [PHP] how do i remove the first 3 characters from a variable?

oops.... foreach($array as $key=>$val) { $array[$key] = substr($val, 3); } this is cleaner.

I think your question was answered already by Chris, if not (or if you think two examples are better then one) then: $array[0] = 'how do i remove the first 3 characters from a variable?'; $array[1] = 'when do i remove the first 3 characters from a variable?'; $array[2] = 'why do i remove the first 3 characters from a variable?'; foreach($array as $key=>$val) { $array[$key] = substr($array[$key], 3); } this will produce: $array[0] = ' do i remove the first 3 characters from a variable?'; $array[1] = 'n do i remove the first 3 characters from a variable?'; $array[2] = ' do i remove the first 3 characters from a variable?'; Cheers, Sincerely, Maxim Maletsky Founder, Chief Developer PHPBeginner.com (Where PHP Begins) maxim@phpbeginner.com www.phpbeginner.com -----Original Message----- From: Chris Lambert - WhiteCrown Networks [mailto:chris@whitecrown.net] Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2001 6:18 PM To: Doron Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] how do i remove the first 3 characters from a variable?
