If I understand you correctly... (and, if not, please explain in more detail what you are expecting and what you are actually getting?)

 

you are calling "echo $User->XYZgetAddress();" which calls the "__call()" function:

 

$methodprefix = substr($name, 0, 3);

$methodproperty = substr($name, 4);

echo $methodproperty;

 

Assuming $name is "XYZgetAddress", it sounds like you are getting the correct values. Strings start at position 0 (not position 1), so "0, 3" will give you the first four characters, "X" (at position 0 in the string) through "g" (at position 3.) The second substring should give you characters 4 through the end, so "etAddress".

 

If you are having an issue with this, either you have put the wrong numbers into the substr() functions (perhaps you mean 0, 2 and 3?) or the video author used a four character string rather than your three character "XYZ."

 

Also, just a quick comment... would you mind not adding random image attachments to your posts? They don't have anything to do with the post, and ultimately wasting space/bandwidth on the server. I'm not sure why you are including them in the first place...?
