How can I cut the first 11 characters from a string, I would like to display some name of some images, but all my images has 11 random characters and a _ before the actual name of the picture shows, I would like to get rid of these 11 characters before displaying the name.

I tried this:

substr($foto_filename,0,11)

But it does the opposite.

<?php $str = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.";
echo $str2 = substr($str,11);
?>

    @Athax Maybe do a lot more research before you ask these kind of questions? – Loko Mar 27 '15 at 08:54

$name = '0123456789A_Image.png';

echo substr ( $name, 0 , 11 ); // 0123456789A

echo substr ( $name, 11 ); // _Image.png

echo substr ( $name, 12 ); //Image.png

substr() PHP.NET

Try this,

$string = "How can i cut the first 11 characters from a string?";
echo substr($string , 11, strlen($string));

11 : indicate start position
strlen($string) : last position of the string

Reference : PHP - Substr

  • `strlen($string)-11` to be canonical with manual. Such answer may bring some misunderstoodment. – yergo Mar 27 '15 at 09:05

Try this 

$str = "thisisasamplestring";
$count = strlen($str);
echo substr($str, (11-$count), ($count-11));
