How can I get the last 7 characters of a PHP string?
php, string
Solution
Use `substr()` with a negative number for the 2nd argument.
$newstring = substr($dynamicstring, -7);
From the php docs:
`string substr ( string $string , int $start [, int $length ] )`
If start is negative, the returned string will start at the start'th character from the end of string.
Problem
How would I go about grabbing the last 7 characters of the string below? For example: ``` $dynamicstring = "2490slkj409slk5409els"; $newstring = some_function($dynamicstring); echo "The new string is: " . $newstring; ``` Which would display: ``` The new string is: 5409els ```
