NEED HELP FAST !!!

I have a value in a template, lets call it {$code}
This value is 4 characters long. (ie "SDUI")
I need to display the 2nd character only.

Remember that I am in a template. In VB it would be something like
SUBSTR($code,2,1).

How do you display the 2nd character on the screen, without showing the other three characters from within a .tpl file.....

PLEASE HELP ANYBODY ???

I couldn't find a smarty modifier to do this automatically, so here's the plan:

In your smarty.php file, add this code:

Code:

$smarty->register_modifier("substr", "substr");

Right above this line:

Code:

$mail_smarty = $smarty;

Then in your templates, you can say:

Code:

{$code|substr:1,1}

Remeber that the 1st character of a string is in position 0 so the 2nd character is in position 1.

Hope this helps!

(This is untested, BTW)
