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?

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

$item->string = "decimal(6,2)";

$start = strpos($item->string, '(')+1;

$end = strpos($item->string, ',') - strlen($item->string) - 1;

$max = substr($item->string, $start, $end);



echo $start."&lt;br&gt;";

echo $end."&lt;br&gt;";

echo $max.

?>

That does it, nevermind
