Remove first two characters from a string

I have some strings like A Paper, B Wood, C Cotton and I need to delete the first letter and the space and have Paper, Wood, Cotton. I tried this.

<?php
    $str = 'A Paper';
    $new_str = str_replace('? ', '', $str);
    echo $new_str;
?>

How to write function str_replace() like:

$new_str = str_replace('(any character) ', '', $str);
Solution

  • You could use the library function substr_replace as:

    $str = substr_replace($str,$char,$pos,1);

    Edit

    For this case:

    $new_str = substr_replace($str, '', 0, 2);
