This question already has an answer here:
I am trying to replace first 2000 characters of a string with null.
For example:
$content = "nvinveneuifnoimmio";
$my_result = "fnoimmio";
I mean that I want the first 10 characters to be removed or to be replaced with a space character in above example.
whats the easiest way to do it?
thanks

Use substr()
$my_result = ' ' . substr($content, 10);
substr is what you need. It will take a section of the given string, x characters from the start.
$content = "nvinveneuifnoimmio";
$my_result = substr($content, 10);
If you want to replace instead, you can use a combination of substr_replace and maybe str_repeat:
$content = "nvinveneuifnoimmio";
$characters = 10;
$my_result = substr_replace($content, str_repeat(' ', $characters), 0, $characters);
