note 84907 added to function.substr

Just a little function to cut a string by the wanted amount. Works in both directions. <?php function cutString($str, $amount = 1, $dir = "right") { if(($n = strlen($str)) > 0) { if($dir == "right") { $start = 0; $end = $n-$amount; } elseif( $dir == "left") { $start = $amount; $end = $n; } return substr($str, $start, $end); } else return false; } ?> Enjoy ;) ---- Server IP: 217.160.72.57 Probable Submitter: 217.236.33.93 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84907 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84907/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84907/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84907/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84907/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84907/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84907/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84907 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84907 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
