Managing Strings
Given the use of PHP language, the management of strings is very important; there are several functions to manage strings, following is an explanation of the most widely used.
- strlen(string). Returns the number of characters in a string.
- split(separator,string). Divides a string into several, using a separation character.
- sprintf(string format, var1, var2...). Formats a text string as well as printf, but the result is returned as a string.
- substr(string, inicio, longitud).Returns a substring from another, beginning at start and of length.
- chop(string). Eliminates line feed and final spaces in a string.
- strpos(string1, string2). Search for string2 inside string1 indicating its position.
- str_replace(string1, string2, texto). Replaces string1 with string2 in the text.
