mb_strcut — Get part of string
$str
, int $start
[, int $length
[, string $encoding
]] )mb_strcut() extracts a substring from a string similarly to mb_substr(), but operates on bytes instead of characters. If the cut position happens to be between two bytes of a multi-byte character, the cut is performed starting from the first byte of that character. This is also the difference to the substr() function, which would simply cut the string between the bytes and thus result in a malformed byte sequence.
str
The string being cut.
start
Starting position in bytes.
length
Length in bytes.
encoding
The encoding
parameter is the character encoding. If it is omitted, the internal character
encoding value will be used.
mb_strcut() returns the portion of
str specified by the
start and
length parameters.
