substr

(PHP 3, PHP 4 , PHP 5)

substr -- Return part of a string

Description

string substr ( string string, int start [, int length])

substr() returns the portion of string specified by the start and length parameters.

If start is non-negative, the returned string will start at the start'th position in string, counting from zero. For instance, in the string 'abcdef', the character at position 0 is 'a', the character at position 2 is 'c', and so forth.

例子 1. Basic substr() usage

<?php
$rest
= substr("abcdef", 1);    // returns "bcdef"
$rest = substr("abcdef", 1, 3); // returns "bcd"
$rest = substr("abcdef", 0, 4); // returns "abcd"
$rest = substr("abcdef", 0, 8); // returns "abcdef"

// Accessing via curly braces is another option
$string = 'abcdef';
echo
$string{0};                // returns a
echo $string{3};                // returns d
?>

If start is negative, the returned string will start at the start'th character from the end of string.

例子 2. Using a negative start

<?php
$rest
= substr("abcdef", -1);    // returns "f"
$rest = substr("abcdef", -2);    // returns "ef"
$rest = substr("abcdef", -3, 1); // returns "d"
?>

If length is given and is positive, the string returned will contain at most length characters beginning from start (depending on the length of string). If string is less than or equal to start characters long, FALSE will be returned.

If length is given and is negative, then that many characters will be omitted from the end of string (after the start position has been calculated when a start is negative). If start denotes a position beyond this truncation, an empty string will be returned.

例子 3. Using a negative length

<?php
$rest
= substr("abcdef", 0, -1);  // returns "abcde"
$rest = substr("abcdef", 2, -1);  // returns "cde"
$rest = substr("abcdef", 4, -4);  // returns ""
$rest = substr("abcdef", -3, -1); // returns "de"
?>

If you want to substring the middle of a string with another and keep the words intact:

<?php
/**
* Reduce a string by the middle, keeps whole words together
*
* @param string $string
* @param int $max (default 50)
* @param string $replacement (default [...])
* @return string
* @author david at ethinkn dot com
* @author loic at xhtml dot ne
* @author arne dot hartherz at gmx dot net
*/

function strMiddleReduceWordSensitive ($string, $max = 50, $rep = '[...]') {
   $strlen = strlen($string);

   if ($strlen <= $max)
       return $string;

   $lengthtokeep = $max - strlen($rep);
   $start = 0;
   $end = 0;

   if (($lengthtokeep % 2) == 0) {
     $start = $lengthtokeep / 2;
       $end = $start;
   } else {
       $start = intval($lengthtokeep / 2);
       $end = $start + 1;
   }

   $i = $start;
   $tmp_string = $string;
   while ($i < $strlen) {
       if ($tmp_string[$i] == ' ') {
           $tmp_string = substr($tmp_string, 0, $i) . $rep;
           $return = $tmp_string;
       }
      $i++;
   }

   $i = $end;
   $tmp_string = strrev ($string);
   while ($i < $strlen) {
       if ($tmp_string[$i] == ' ') {
           $tmp_string = substr($tmp_string, 0, $i);
           $return .= strrev ($tmp_string);
       }
       $i++;
   }
   return $return;
   return substr($string, 0, $start) . $rep . substr($string, - $end);
}

echo strMiddleReduceWordSensitive ('ABCDEEF GHIJK LLKJHKHKJHKL HGHFK sdfasdfsdafsdf sadf asdf sadf sad s', 30) . "\n";
// Returns: ABCDEEF GHIJK[...]asdf sadf sad s (33 chrs)
echo strMiddleReduceWordSensitive ('ABCDEEF GHIJK LLKJHKHKJHKL HGHFK sdfasdfsdafsdf sadf asdf sadf sad s', 30, '...') . "\n";
// Returns: ABCDEEF GHIJK...asdf sadf sad s (32 chrs)
?>
