Hello. I'd like to suggest PHP introduce a new function |str_cut| to make fast cutting of a string.
If the user wants to cut a large string to a still-very-large string(say, cutting a 1KB string from a larger string), |str_cut| would be a far more efficient alternative solution than |substr|: str_cut($str, 1024) vs $str = substr($str, 0, 1024) |str_cut| works by *directly* reseting the len value of the string. And I have created a first-draft PR at https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/3483 , I am also going to create an RFC. I am looking forward to your thoughts. Zhang Junzhi
