note 24509 deleted from function.substr by aidan

Note Submitter: webmaster@artifical-stupids.org ---- here some code, with it you can tile some text and e.g. different color in the first, the last and the mid characters. I made some for IRC and my client-colors. don't know, for what you use it, i place it on my site. i think, it's a good effect. <? $text = "1234567890"; $text_len = strlen($text); $var1 = substr($text,0,1); // returns 1 $var2 = substr($text,$text_len-1,$text_len); // returns 0 $var3 = substr($text,1,$text_len-2); // returns 23456789 echo "first char:$var1 last char: $var2 rest: $var3"; ?>
