PHP substr() problem

PHP Code:
<?php
$item
->string "decimal(6,2)";
$start strpos($item->string'(')+1;
$end strpos($item->string',');
$max substr($item->string$start$end);

echo 
$start."&lt;br&gt;";
echo 
$end."&lt;br&gt;";
echo 
$max.
?>
This prints out:

8
9
6,2)

Why doesn't it work? The only time thing I can get it to do is count backwards from the end 1 position, by making $end = -1. Surely I'm missing something here.

So, what am I missing?
