Cropping a number to the last five digits

[Jeremy_H]

Hello,

I have a number variable of possible different lengths that I would like to crop to the last five digits.

I've been trying to search php.net, Google, and other databases by various words, such as number trim, number crop, number truncate, etc, but I just can't find the solution.

Does anybody know if this is possible, and if so, how one might be able to do it?

Thanks

You need to use substr() function. Refer to php manual on more info on this

Yep, substr as omoutop mentioned.

$string = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz':

echo substr($string,-5);

Would print:

vwxyz
