title: Strip letters in php
body: <p>We have variable with text:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$text = 'I use something similar to pull the most recent post from my blog and display a snapshot of it on my home page.';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>How to strip first 40 symbols of this text?</strong> (including spaces).</p>
  
  <p>Should work like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo strip_text($text, 40);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
