Question

I have an MD5 alpha-numeric. How can I get the first five characters and last five characters, and put them in one string using PHP?

For example: “aabbccddeeffgghh” will become “aabbcfgghh”.

Answer 1

First of all – accept your recent answers.

You can do this with substr function:

$input  = 'aabbccddeeffgghh';
$output = substr($input, 0, 5) . substr($input, -5);
