note 24306 added to function.substr

Some people might prefer using the function similar to this: substr(string, start, end); rather than: substr(string, start, size); (I didn't RTFM and assumed it was the first way) Anyway, if you want to, try this: function substr_alt($string, $start, $end) { substr($string, $start, $end-$start); } Then you could use substr_alt("abcdef", 2, 4); which would return 'cd'. :-) -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+24306 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+24306 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+24306
