[SOLVED] Catching the end of a string

[jandrews3]

How do I catch the end of a string from character 26 on when I don't know the total length. I want to do something like:

 

$string = $validate(26, x) where x is the number of remaining characters in $validate after the 26th.

substr($x,26);

Sorry, I don't need the 27th character: substr($x,26); I need to capture the 27th character to the end of the string when I don't know the length.

substr($x,27,-1);

 

read the php manual.. its explains your answer word for word.. gosh

Wes1890, on a help forum you can stuff you attitude. If you're not here to help get off. If you read someone's post and can't reply without being a maldito, don't reply. I can do without the help of people like you.

jandrews3,

 

You appear to be the one with the attitude. SemiApocalyptic's response is exactly what you asked for (i.e. captures everything from the 27th character to the end of the string). But instead of actually trying it out you posted back as if his response was incorrect, which seems presumptious.

You got me there. I misread the code posted by SemiApocalyptic. You're absolutely right, I should have tried it. But my mistake was a combination of misunderstanding and being new, not disrespect. I am nothing if not respectful to people.

try

substr($x,26,strlen($x));
