mb_substr — Get part of string

### Descrierea

mb_substr ( string `$str` , int `$start` [, int `$length` = NULL [, string `$encoding` = mb_internal_encoding() ]] ) : string

Performs a multi-byte safe substr() operation based on number of characters. Position is counted from the beginning of `str`. First character's position is 0. Second character position is 1, and so on.

### Parametri

`str`

  The string to extract the substring from.

`start`

  If `start` is non-negative, the returned string will start at the `start`'th position in `str`, counting from zero. For instance, in the string 'abcdef', the character at position 0 is 'a', the character at position 2 is 'c', and so forth.

  If `start` is negative, the returned string will start at the `start`'th character from the end of `str`.

`length`

  Maximum number of characters to use from `str`. If omitted or NULL is passed, extract all characters to the end of the string.

`encoding`

  Parametrul `encoding` reprezintă codificarea caracterelor. Dacă el este omis, va fi utilizată valoarea internă a codificării caracterelor.

### Valorile întoarse

mb_substr() returns the portion of `str` specified by the `start` and `length` parameters.
