[SOLVED] Remove first characters of variable text

[djpdjpnl]

Hi there,

 

I'm sort of stuck with my script.

I want to show the last 5 reviews (just the title with a link to it) in the menu on my (e107) website.

First I rewritten a plugin that did so, but it didn't show only one category (cat 3 for me).

Everything works now and I'm very happy... but...!!

All my review titles start with 'REVIEW :: ' so it gets your attention when you read the news on my site.

In a menu called 'Reviews' this will be pointless and irritating so I need to erase the first 9 characters from titles in the menu, but not from the database.

I found the 'substring' thing when I was talking to my big friend but I don't really get it.

If somebody could help me you're the best (wo)man ever!

 

 

<?php
global $sql2, $tp;

$obj2 = new convert;
$count =5;
$curcount =1;
$caption = "Reviews";
$no_news = "Geen reviews";
$eol_separator = "</td></tr>";
$sol_separator = "<tr><td valign='top' style='text-align:left; padding-top: 4px;'>";
$qry = "SELECT news_id, news_title, news_category FROM #news WHERE news_render_type = 0 AND news_category = 3 ORDER BY news_id DESC LIMIT 0,".$count;


if($sql2->db_Select_gen($qry))
{
$n_text = "<table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' style='width:100%; border-collapse: collapse;'>";
while ($row = $sql2->db_Fetch())
{		
	$title = $tp->toHTML($row['news_title']);

	if ($curcount < $count){
		$n_text .="<td valign='top' align='left' style='padding-top: 4px;padding-bottom: 4px;border-bottom:1px dotted #CCCCCC;'><a href='".e_HTTP."news.php?item.".$row['news_id']."'>".$title."</a>".$eol_separator;
	}else{
		$n_text .="<td valign='top' align='left' style='padding-top: 4px;'><a href='".e_HTTP."news.php?item.".$row['news_id']."'>".$title."</a>".$eol_separator;
	}
        
	$curcount++;
}
$n_text .= "</table>";
}
else
{
$n_text = $no_news;
}
$ns->tablerender($caption, $n_text);

I'm sorry.

After I woke up just minutes a go, I had an idea that worked.

 

 

$title = $tp->toHTML(substr($row['news_title'], 10));
