[SOLVED] chopping characters from a string help!

[ukferret]

I am looking to delete the first 240 charcters from a string, anyone have any ideas how I would do this? and would I include white spaces or not?

[pro_se]

<?php
$string = "String Here... "
echo substr($string, 240);
?>

 

Try that out and tell me if it works..

This is the code in my script and it deos not remove the forst or last 2092 characters! got any ideas?

 

<?php substr($file, 2092);
echo $file; ?>

[pro_se]

<?php
$file = "something.txt"
echo substr($file, 2092);
?>

I got around it by doing as you first suggested and echo'ing off that line instead of doing it seperatly and it works great cheers, oh and you do have to include white spaces

 

echo substr($file, 2333);

 

Many thanks.
