From: Operating system: * PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Strings related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Easy substr/array_splice method
Description: ------------ In python exists a easy method for substr, and I suggest this for PHP. I think that not will do incompatible nothing because is a new method. $test = "Hello"; echo $test[0]; // Exists: H echo $test[0, 1; // New: H (too) echo $test[-1]; // New: o echo $test[-3]; // New: llo $test = array(0, 1, 2); echo $test[0]; // 0 echo $test[0, 2]; // array(0, 1, 2) In python is [x:y], but in PHP I thinkg think that is better ',' to don't complicate.
