there is also this 32,000 limitation which isn't the case when not using variable inside quotes.

you can try it out yourself with something like shawn's $snippet = substr("$string",1,5)

grow the $string to more than 32,000 and you see it's not possible to handle it anymore.

but if used as $snippet = substr($string,1,5)

it still works.

am I right or not?
