Hi Larry,
I hope all is well with you.
I have what I thought was a simple problem with a simple solution. 😄🤣
I have in a mysql database a table with data so: 12345/98765 (they are co-ordinates).
I need to subtract a number from the left number and a different number from the right number, and then put them back.
Thus I need to assign the left hand number to a variable, and the right hand number to another variable. Then I can do the subtraction and replace the co-ordinates.
The two numbers aren't necessarily always the same number of digits.
I have thought about str_replace, ltrim, rtrim, strpos etc. but none of them cut the mustard. I'd rather do it in php that use LEFT() and RIGHT() in MySql.
Any ideas? I have now wasted a whole afternoon on this. 🙄
