mb_strcut
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5, PHP 7)
mb_strcut — Get part of string
Description
$str
, int $start
[, int $length
= NULL
[, string $encoding
= mb_internal_encoding()
]] ) : stringmb_strcut() extracts a substring from a string similarly to mb_substr(), but operates on bytes instead of characters. If the cut position happens to be between two bytes of a multi-byte character, the cut is performed starting from the first byte of that character. This is also the difference to the substr() function, which would simply cut the string between the bytes and thus result in a malformed byte sequence.
Parameters
-
str
-
The string being cut.
-
start
-
If
start
is non-negative, the returned string will start at thestart
'th byte position instr
, counting from zero. For instance, in the string 'abcdef', the byte at position 0 is 'a', the byte at position 2 is 'c', and so forth.If
start
is negative, the returned string will start at thestart
'th byte from the end ofstr
. -
length
-
Length in bytes. If omitted or NULL is passed, extract all bytes to the end of the string.
-
encoding
-
The
encoding
parameter is the character encoding. If it is omitted, the internal character encoding value will be used.
