How do I output just the last 3 characters of docno below? This docno outputs a really long string of numbers, and I wanted to simplify it to make it look cleaner by just showing the last 3 digits.
Yii::$app->reporter->col((isset($data[0]['docno'])? $data[0]['docno']:''),'300',null,false,'1px solid ','','L','Helvetica','11','','','').'<br />';
Thanks.
Use substr()
As documentation said:
If start is non-negative, the returned string will start at the start'th position in string, counting from zero. For instance, in the string 'abcdef', the character at position 0 is 'a', the character at position 2 is 'c', and so forth.
If start is negative, the returned string will start at the start'th character from the end of string.
So use negative value in second parameter
$data[0]['docno'] = substr($data[0]['docno'], -3);
Now use this in your Yii::$app->..... line
You can use substr() with a negative number in the 2nd argument.
$shortenedDocNo = substr($data[0]['docno'], -3);
From the PHP documentation:
string substr ( string $string , int $start [, int $length ] )If start is negative, the returned string will start at the start'th character from the end of string.
