string_cut [function]

string_cut( string str, int from[, int to[, int flags]] )

returns a part of string str, from and to being positions of the first and last character returned, respectively

• if to is not specified, to is assumed to be the position of the last character in string str
• if from or to are negative, they point to characters before the end of string (-1 being the last one)
• available values for flags:
  • STRING_NO_REV_INDEX - emit warnings on negative indices, instead of handling them
  • STRING_STRICT_RANGES - emit warnings on out of bounds from/to values instead of silently ignoring the outside characters

string_cut( "01234567", 3, 5 ); // string [3] "345"
