Question

Replace any character

I´m looking for a way to replace any character in a text string.

I have created a unique string with uniqid(true), which is 14 character long. I would like to remove 10 of the characters, so that only 4 remains.

Is that possible?

PHP Code:


			
$string = substr($string, 0, 4);
