PHP Subtract First Character of String

Question

Hello,

I know this is simple, and I've done it before, but I've forgotten how to do it.

How might I, in php, subtract the first letter of a string?

For example:

FOOBAR would become OOBAR

I think its something like $string[-1];

Thanks, Christian Stewart
