Question

I want to remove the first 10 numbers from a string and then take the remaining numbers in the original string and make that into a new string to use.

Example:

$org_string = '304928340912';

I think it is done with either a regex or the trim() function but dont know enough about them to define where to trim at the 10 number count from the beginning.

Result i am looking for would be (based on the org_string above):

$new_string = '12';

The number at the end could be 1, 2, 3, 4 digits long so i can just go off of the last x numbers.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Answer 1

Use substr.

$new_string = substr($org_string, 10);
