Strip first 2 characters

[CMNetworx]

Hello, I think this will probably be simple to someone that knows more php than myself..

 

I have a number, ex 354684651

 

I would like to strip off the first 2 characters, What would be the best way to go about this?

If it truely is a number then...

 

<?php

$n = 354684651;
echo $n - 350000000;

?>

 

otherwise....

 

<?php

echo substr('354684651',1);

?>

It is a number, and the first 2 digits are almost always the same, but I think I will use the substr, just to make sure I don't encounter a  math mistake if I tell it to subtract the wrong number..

 

Thanks
