The substr function returns part of a string. The first number is the start or offset, and the second number is the length of the substring.

    
    $sentence = "The quick brown fox jumps";
    $exists = substr($sentence, 10);
    echo $exists;
    // "brown fox jumps"

    $exists1 = substr($sentence, 4, 5);
    echo $exists1;
    // "quick"
