## Substring Function in PHP
The Substring function in PHP returns a portion of the string, specified by two parameters, the start and the length.
## Syntax
The substring function is used like any other function in php, and uses the subtr() syntax.
```
<?php
subtr( $string, $start, $length);
```
## Example
Below is an example of how you could use the substring function in a real world situation:
```
<?php
$apple = 'Apple';
$alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
substr($apple, 0, 5); // Apple;
substr($apple, 0, 3); // App;
substr($apple, 3, 2); // le;
substr($alphabet, 0, 26); // abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz;
substr($alphabet, 12, 6); // mnopqr;
```
