This template is used on 206,000+ pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage.
The indices are one-based (meaning the first is number one), inclusive (meaning the indices you specify are included), and may be negative to count from the other end. For example, {{#invoke:string|sub|12345678|2|-3}} → 23456. Not all the legacy substring templates use this numbering scheme, so check the documentation of unfamiliar templates.
Various new functions including str_contains (), str_starts_with (), and str_ends_with (); ... Below is an example of how PHP variables are declared and initialized.
If n is greater than the length of the string then most implementations return the whole string (exceptions exist – see code examples). Note that for variable-length encodings such as UTF-8, UTF-16 or Shift-JIS, it can be necessary to remove string positions at the end, in order to avoid invalid strings.
{{str index|text|number}} = Returns the number-th character of text. Base 1: the first character is numbered 1, and so on. Any leading or trailing whitespace is removed from the string before searching. If the requested position is negative, this function will search the string counting from the last character.
This is the {{Str startswith}} meta-template. It returns "yes" if the second parameter is the start of the first parameter. Both parameters are trimmed before use.
PHP has hundreds of base functions and thousands more from extensions. Prior to PHP version 5.3.0, functions are not first-class functions and can only be referenced by their name, whereas PHP 5.3.0 introduces closures. [35] User-defined functions can be created at any time and without being prototyped. [35]
{{strfind short|target|string}} outputs the position in target where string first appears (e.g. an output of "3" would mean beginning at the third character in target).
