mb_strcut

Get part of string

string **mb_strcut** string $string int $start  $length  $encoding

extracts a substring from a string similarly to

, 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 function, which would simply cut the string between the bytes and thus result in a malformed byte sequence. mb_strcut``mb_substr``substr

string The being cut. string

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

   If  is negative, the returned string
   will start at the 'th byte
   counting back from the end of . However, if the
   magnitude of a negative  is greater than the
   length of the string, the returned portion will start from the beginning of

   If  is negative, the returned string will
   end at the 'th byte counting back from the

    is greater than the number of characters
   after the  position, an empty string will
   be returned.
