Get first 5 hexadecimal character and convert to decimal php

Question

I have a 128 character hex string.

I need to get the first 5 characters and then convert them to a decimal, which I will do with hexdec()

How can I get the first 5 characters?

http://php.net/substr — `$first_five = substr($string, 0, 5);` — Amal Murali, Mar 13 '14 at 20:30
