$newstring = substr($string,1,4);
FOUR, not FIVE. Doh.

since you know exactly which 4 characters you want to keep you can use a
simple string trimming routine.
$newstring = substr($string,1,5);
No need for complicated regular expressions!

I want to replace a string like this 1B335-2G with this B335. So for all the
strings I want to remove the first character and the last three characters.
I'm not sure which replace function to use or how to go about it. Thanks.
