creating strleading function

[Ubunt00]

Hello everyone, I am trying to create a function called strleading that basically reads two strings, and returns true if a certain amount of leading strings are equivalent.

 

It will be something like this:

 

function strleading (cheesecake, cheese, 6)

 

echo stlreading;

 

returns true || false;

 

basically the parameters that I have made in my pseudo code are the two strings cheesecake and cheese, the number six, is the amount of

characters that have to match in the two strings in order for them to be considered a true match. I want this to work for all words that have similar leading letters. Please help. Thank You.

Take a look at substr.
