How to get the last 4 characters in a string - Laravel

Question

I have this string in my database like 12-12-2067. I want to only display the last 4 words in the string 2067 in my view. How do i achieve this ?

$get_string = Item::all()->first();


<p>{{get_string}}</p>

@Maraboc, it is not a date, it is actually a string that i generate with an algorithm — , Dec 11 '17 at 15:45
if you have alway the - as separator you can do `$parts = explode('-', $get_string);` and then use `$parts[2]` or `explode('-', $get_string)[2]` !! — Maraboc, Dec 11 '17 at 15:51
@Maraboc i am trying to do this in the view not the controller — , Dec 11 '17 at 15:53
yes you can do {{ explode('-', $get_string)[2] }} inthe view — Maraboc, Dec 11 '17 at 15:54

You can use:

substr ($getstring->string, -4)

Because of (-) it will start form the end of the string and it will take the next 4 characters.

Take care that first() it will return an object and not the string you want.

yes of course you can try {{ substsr ($getstring->string, -4)}} – Radu Dec 11 '17 at 15:47
Did it worked? :) – Radu Dec 11 '17 at 15:50
"Call to undefined function substsr()" – Dec 11 '17 at 15:50
is substr() not substsr() :) sorry I will edit my answer! – Radu Dec 11 '17 at 15:52
This is working in a table from one of my view: – Radu Dec 11 '17 at 15:57

Please read the manual substr.

$str = substr($str, -4);

string substr ( string $string , int $start [, int $length ] )

$dynamicstring = "12-07-2017"; $newstring = substr($dynamicstring, -4);
