# mb_substr

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.6)

mb_substr -- Get part of string

## Description

string mb_substr ( string str, int start [, int length [, string encoding]])

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

mb_substr() performs 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.

If `encoding` is omitted, internal encoding is assumed.

`encoding` is character encoding. If it is omitted, internal character encoding is used.
