note 101870 added to function.array-slice

to yuwas at ht dot cx As you asked, yes there is a better way to preset length <?php function str_slice($string,$offset,$length=null,$preserve_keys=False){ if( $length === null ){ $length = strlen($string)-$offset; } $slice_arr = array_slice(str_split($string),$offset,$length,$preserve_keys); return implode($slice_arr); }; ?> Although, this is a very resource intensive way of doing this. Why not just use substr? ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 213.49.255.121 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-slice.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/101870 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101870/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101870/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101870/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101870/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101870/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101870/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101870 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/101870 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
