FYI, I found that I could use the substr() function to solve my problem
with.
With everything that I had read, there was one very important thing every
one of these writers left out!
That being, the natural mind says the first character is "1" and therefore
the number 1 should be used if you want to start at the begining.
e.g.
substr("123",1,1)
The output is "1" correct?
Wrong!
It is "2".
To output the "1", the correct code is substr("123",0,1).
Why?
I suspect that this is due to the fact the substring is treated as an array
and the array always begins with [0] by default.
