Hi Curt,
You could use a function of the name and signature you gave, but if you implement it
in PHP, you're still creating the substring objects that I don't want created. Notice
your call to substr(). Object creation is expensive. If the function were
implemented natively, the language need only copy bytes directly from a portion of the
source string over to the output buffer.
Thanks for taking a stab!
