No, this would not be possible to do, as a string in PHP is an 
continuues range of bytes, and not an array of 'character' zvals. 
Reference can only be made to zvals internally.

On a sidenote, is it possible in Zend to implmement something such as:

$string = "Foobar";
$string = &$string[1];

I actually thought that would work, however upon testing it throws an
error... Just curious.

(a) wrong list -- you want [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(b) $results2 = substr($results, 1);

[PHP-DEV] Just a little question

[Hacook]

Hi all,
I have a chain charachter that look like this :
*text*text*text*text*textetc
I would like to cut off the FIRST star but not the others
My chain is REALLY long.
I made that script :

$maxi=strlen($resultats)-2;
$nb = 0;
while ($nb<=$maxi) {
$results2 = $results2.$results[1+$nb];
$nb = $nb+1;
}

where $results is the chain
It works perfectly but it takes over 5 minutes !
Do you have any idea on how to make it faster ?
Thanks,
Hacook
