Question

I need a simple function(e.g function_cut) to cut from a variable characters if the number of characters is bigger than 14.
For example the current $user has 18 characters and I need to cut 4 of them (doesn’t matter which one).

 $user = "abc123abc123abc123";

 $user = function_cut($user);

Answer 1

substr

$first_14_characters = substr( $string, 0, 14 );
