Removing characters within 2 positions in a string?

[ReCreate]

Well, I can't find a function for it, Is it possible?
What I want to do is to remove all the characters within 2 positions in a string.
Thanks

Try using that XML parser you should already be using from before, you can turn it back into XML.

Cut the shit with that XML parser, It is not what I need.
I have a string that contains "123456789" and I want to remove the characters within the 2 positions: 3 and 6, So i should get "123789" in return.(assuming that 1 is for the first character)

You FAIL. Make a function to do it. It's not that hard (no, I will NOT do it for you).

Seriously, TRY.

By the way, sorry, I misread. I thought you meant XML again. 8D

Made a quick function. I think this should do the job.

function newStr_replace($string, $start, $end, $replace) {
  $number = $end - $start + 1;
  $string = substr_replace($string, $replace, $start, $number);
  return $string;
}

This:

echo newStr_replace("123456789", 2, 5, "");

Returns:
12789 (it starts at pos 2 (3 in this case b/c you start at 0), and ends (also deletes) at pos 5 (6 in this case))

Hope thats what you wanted

Thanks, So you say with that function the index is 2?

I would have if you told me that there was no function for it. >_<

Lolcreate.

If you can't find it on php.net, I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist.

Are you talking about the $start value?
