[sungpeng]

$hello="1 fish meat rice";

echo "$hello";

display : 1 fish meat rice

 

Check Can the display be ignore the first character "1" and display the rest. For this case only display only "fish meat rice".

Look into using substr and trim along with your echo statement.

hi generic, can help draft it out? pls

[sungpeng]

$hello="category American apple";

echo end(explode(' ', $hello));

 

The above code can display the last wordings "apple".

 

I also need a code to ignore the first wordings and display the rest. In this case, it will display "American apple" and ignore "category".

the substr() function would probably help you out. This function takes three parameters, the string, the start point and the length, the latter which is optional.

 

If you did the following code

 

$text = "Hello World";
$text = substr($text, 0, 5);
echo $text;

 

you would output hello. If you want to take off the first letter, then you want to take the substring starting with the second character right?

so the following code:

$hello="1 fish meat rice";
$hello = substr($hello, 1);
echo $hello;

 

would do what you want because it takes everything from the 2nd character (or the character with position 1) on

 

Hope that helps
