    I would like to take a string and remove the first 5 characters from the string. I would like to have the remaining portion of the string returned (not the first 5 characters). I want to do the same thing with the end of the string except remove the last 16 characters.

    What two functions would I use to do this?

    To remove the first five characters use substr($string, 5)
    To remove the last 16 characters use substr($string, 0, -16)
